The Golf Course Mystery

"The Golf Course Mystery" by Chester K. Steele establishes an atmosphere of intrigue right from the start, when a champion golfer dies suddenly after winning a tournament at a beautiful golf club, sparking concerns of a scandalous accident or even murder. The story introduces a group of people at the Maraposa Golf Club, including Captain Gerry Poland and Harry Bartlett, whose early conversations about life and death foreshadow the unfolding drama when Horace Carwell falls and dies soon after securing his victory. As Horace's daughter, Viola Carwell, deals with the tragedy, questions arise about the true cause of his death, and the story begins to reveal hidden family secrets and mysteries that need solutions.
