The Bar-b-que Circuit Eddie Barnes

Golf, alcohol, and lusty women, an amateur tournament, in one town then another, every weekend from early spring to late fall. Every golf club in every town always served the same thing on Saturday night, Texas style barbecue, beans, and potato salad or coleslaw. And there was also never a lack of spirits to help dampen the pain of a poorly played game. Set in the Texas Panhandle in 1980 its the racy, raunchy, irrelevant story of struggles with the game of golf, the alcohol that contributes to that struggle, and of the women that surround the main characters Eloy Baines, R. T. Deacon, Benny Jaymen and Himey Wilkinson. Its a hilarious look at how the men, and the women, go about life as they tour each city on The Bar-B-Que Circuit. Eddie L. Barnes grew up in the Texas Panhandle. He has lived in various towns in West Texas and the Texas Panhandle for the past 53 years. He currently resides in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. He still sells computers and plays golf every day possible.
