That was a great game of golf, fellers.
And with those last words from Bing Crosby, the No Holds Barred Q&A Session is officially over. Thanks to everyone who wrote in, and I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!

Dear Jonathan,
Thank you for your generosity.
Thanks for being so open and for sharing like this. I enjoyed both the questions and the answers.
Have a great weekend!!
I echo that. Thanks -- very helpful.
(But if you're quoting Bing Crosby on golf, are you sure you're not interested in repping a great golf novel?)
Sports fiction is really, really tough to sell, and golf fiction even tougher... sorry.
Ah! Thanks for an honest answer to my half-flippant question. Too bad I didn't know that when I started ...
Agent Jonathan: It is written!
