Welcome! Pull Up a Rocking Chair and Stay Awhile

I’m Dan Smith, author of How I Met Scruffy & Pals, and I’m mighty glad you stopped by.

Whether you came because you love dogs, golf, good stories, or simply enjoy meeting interesting characters, you’ve found the right place.

This isn’t just an author website.

It’s a visit to Shade Well Country Club, where Bogey first discovered that sometimes getting lost is the beginning of finding where you truly belong.

As you wander around the clubhouse, you’ll meet Scruffy and the pals, discover how a handful of hand-drawn golf balls grew into a heartwarming story, learn about the characters who inspired the book, and, I hope, leave with a smile.

So make yourself at home.

Bogey has already claimed his favorite spot on the porch.

The rest of us have been waiting on you.
