The Bar-B-Que Circuit
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.

The Breeze: The Bar-B-Que Circuit, Continued
Eloy Baines openly admits he enjoys being a Neanderthal-almost as much as he enjoys the game of golf and cavorting with his pals on the Texas Panhandle Bar-B-Que Circuit. When he is not golfing, he is drowning his troubles in a glass of scotch and writing poetry. Luckily, he has his pals to keep him focused on his favorite things: golf, hard booze, and soft women. Eloy and his golfing buddies attempt to go about life, both on and off the course, in the best way they know how. As the men refine their swings and putting abilities each weekend, each of them fights against-and often loses to-the personal demons that continuously haunt them as they immerse themselves in setting course records, drinking, and carousing with shameless women. But it is not long before Elroy discovers that nothing is ever guaranteed in the game of golf, life, or relationships with women, especially in West Texas. The Breeze continues the tale of a group of crazy Texas characters who are inevitably bound as friends as they golf the Bar-B-Que circuit and realize that the party never ends.
