Other Charaters not always in the show:
Hans - The German Greenskeeper
Mr. & Mrs. Timms - Bobby's parents & members of the club
Ryan & Smitty - Bobby's Buddies.

Quick Plot Summary:
The show primarily takes place in the clubhouse at prestigous Whistling Hills Country Club in Southern California. It has kind of a "Cheers" type atmosphere where as people will talk about their day, their families, their jobs, ect. The show will mostly revolve around Chip and how he copes with recently losing his Tour Card and trying to run a clubhouse with a variety of personailties. If I had to compare it to something I would say its 'Cheers' meets 'Caddyshack'.

I know I would watch
