HBO is developing a single-camera comedy series based on Clint McCown's 1995 book The Member-Guest. Feature writer-producer Steve Pink (High Fidelity) is writing the script. Actor Kevin Bacon is executive producing with an eye towards starring in the project, about a burned-out golf pro of a 9-hole course who just wants one more shot at the tour, but his comeback is constantly sidelined as he deals with the needs of the members of the Middle-American country club who are grappling with dashed dreams of their own. Also executive producing are Pink, Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment and Tom Mangan, with McCown serving as a consultant. Bacon, who is filming X-Men: First Class, has been one of the most sought-after actors to headline a TV series. At HBO, he starred in the original movie Taking Chance, which earned him a Golden Globe. He also guest stars in an upcoming episode of the pay cable network's off-beat comedy series Bored to Death. On the TV side, Pink did a stint as a writer-producer on HBO's Hollywood-centric comedy Entourage.
