While her case awaits trial Solarz is pressured into becoming the Panthers interim baseball coach. Her gold medal resume notwithstanding, this is not on Solarz’s agenda. Still, it seems she knows how to breathe life back into a ball club of eighteen at risk, ethnically diverse teens.

Fasten your seatbelts for a rollicking ride with more twists and turns than a bowl of pretzels.
L.A.’s historic Bellstone Country Club is famous for its star-studded membership, championship golf course, and glamorous parties. Here, sexy golfer Mandy Manville is expected to win the club’s Women’s Golf Championship, which will qualify her to tee it up with legendary golfers in Scotland’s Cialis Open. But when ex-college star golfer Jody Benson joins the club, Mandy’s beautifully manicured nails become claws as she stops at nothing to keep the newcomer from entering the tournament. Meanwhile, the Bellstone president’s bet on an upcoming heavyweight fight could cause an already struggling club to go bust. Add in a corrupt priest with a free membership, a down-and-out ex-movie star working as a caddy, an LAPD cop on the take, a pregnant stripper on the hunt for her baby’s daddy, and you’ll find yourself laughing, hooting, booing, cheering, and maybe even taking up golf!

Don’t Mind Me, I Came with the House: A laugh-out-loud, feel-good romantic comedy
Divorced and raising three ungrateful teenagers, her life suddenly brightens when a popular professional golfer falls in love with her. Elatedly, she begins traveling the glamorous US golf circuit—in her unworldly sort of way. But when sickness strikes her, she’s sure she’s ringing death’s doorbell.
Then she gets the news—she’s not dying. She’s pregnant.
Dumbfounded and demoralized, she sets out on a mission to coax Blake the Pro into proposing before he (and her kids!) find out she’s pregnant. Her bungling efforts catapult her into online sensationalism—for all the wrong reasons.
