Missing Links is the story of four middle-class buddies who live outside Boston, have been utterly obsessed with golf for years and are a regular foursome at Ponkaquoque Municipal Course and Deli – not so fondly known as Ponky, the single worst golf course in America. Just adjacent to the municipal course lies the Mayflower Country Club, the most exclusive private course in all of Boston and a major thorn in their collective sides. Frustrated by the Mayflower's finely manicured greens and snooty members, three of Ponky's most courageous – Two Down, Dannie, and Stick – set up a bet: $1,000 apiece, and the first man to finagle his way onto the Mayflower takes all. One of the three will eventually play the course, but their friendships (and everything else) change as various truths unravel and the old Ponky starts looking like the home they never should have left.
