SCU / DESTINATION BRIEFING
Space Course Balls of Destiny
Space has rules. Golf has more.
A comedy-sci-fi golf adventure about complimentary presentations, catastrophic fine print, dangerous fairways, and one very ordinary guy who only wanted to finish his round and find a restroom.
Extraordinary golf destinations for a more interesting humanity.
SCU / BOOK OVERVIEW
Luxury resort propaganda with the increasingly unstable soul of a golf novel.
Phill Collins is a recently divorced guy in his forties who just wants to finish his round and find a bathroom. Instead, he stumbles into Space Course Unlimited — an impossibly polished interstellar golf resort that offers him a complimentary presentation, a stack of paperwork, and an escalating series of problems that are somehow both impeccably branded and immediately life-threatening.
Along the way he meets Plibax, an overqualified concierge with perfect manners, and a robotic caddie intelligence whose operational helpfulness may exceed its emotional calibration. The result is part corporate satire, part adventure comedy, and part survival round where every hole gets stranger than the last.
Hazards & Hostilities
Beautiful views. Lethal wildlife. Every hole is a new problem, and many of those problems would prefer to eat your ball first and ask questions later.
Course conditionsCorporate Fine Print
You signed up for this. Probably. The contract language is immaculate, the waiver provisions are robust, and the consequences are not hypothetical.

Bio
Phill Collins
A recently divorced golfer in his forties, Phill is practical, wary, and far more capable than he first appears. He never intended to join an interstellar resort ecosystem. He only wanted to finish his round and find a restroom. Unfortunately for him, his habit of reading around the fine print collides with a company that writes it professionally.

Plibax

Bio
HIVE (Mully)
A classic spherical robot caddie with a polished corporate voice and just enough independent intent to be useful, suspicious, and oddly endearing. HIVE tracks the course, advises on shot selection, and occasionally says the quiet part in a tone that implies it believes it is helping.

Bio
Slumberjaw
One of the local course hazards best described as wildlife-adjacent and legally underdocumented. Slumberjaw enjoys sunning near water features, sleeping on ideal golf lines, and reminding guests that “unplayable lie” is sometimes a philosophical category.

Bio
Angler Hazard
Featured prominently in authorized promotional materials and even more prominently in nightmares, this bioluminescent problem serves as a reminder that SCU branding is aspirational, not protective. Approach with caution, distance, and a healthy respect for the food chain.

SCU / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions approved for guest review.
Is Space Course Unlimited a real company?
No. Space Course Unlimited is the fictional corporate universe surrounding Space Course: Balls of Destiny, a novel by Brad Thompson.
What kind of book is this?
It’s a comedic science-fiction golf adventure with corporate satire, absurd hazards, escalating stakes, and a luxury-resort voice that should not be trusted without legal review.
What do I get for joining the launch list?
You’ll receive release updates and the promised Full Course Guide reward when distribution is ready.
Will there be more Space Course stories?
That is the working ambition, assuming Earth Division remains solvent and the hazard reports stay within printable limits.
