Chris Gonsalves has spent two decades writing about murder, mayhem ...and golf! As a waterfront and crime reporter for The Standard-Times in New Bedford, Mass., Chris spent countless hours prowling the deliciously spooky cobblestone streets of the historic Whaling City, a favorite haunt of Herman Melville and a cadre of lesser known spirits of the sea. Later, he covered luxury lifestyles as Executive Editor of Gulfshore Life Magazine in Naples, Fla., a city with more golf holes per capita than any place in America. He lives and works from the PGA National resort community in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. where he always finds the championship course's famous Bear Trap a spine-chilling experience... day or night.
