Fairway To Heaven!

No iffs or putts… this is an un-FORE-gettable murder mystery!

Golfing legend ‘Ricky Speed’ is Europe’s choice to face the American, ‘Penk Henkson’, in the forthcoming Cyder Cup… a one off sporting thriller designed to ‘pitch’ the best two golfers from each continent up against one another.  Playboy Speed duly embarks upon a tour of all Britain’s most famous venues yet, strangely, also selects to play the third-rate course at the Hollybush Landings Golf Club. And it’s there in the HLGS’s function room that he meets a grisly end… hit over the head with a golfing trophy and then ‘impaled’ by the flag from the eighteenth green. But who be so ‘rough’ as to consign poor old Ricky to that great golf course in the sky? Could it be...

William Shanks, the HLGC’s pompous, ego-driven President? 

Golfing widow Kitty Shanks, sick of having to compete for her husband’s affection? 

Delilah Bean, the HGLC’s ‘overly-hands-on’ Treasurer? 

Put-upon Green Keeper, Arthur Dugdale, who’s struggling to prepare the course in time for its VIP guest?

 Or... 

The dynamic Blitz Tempest, journalist for ‘the Hollybush Bugle’ who’ll stop at nothing in pursuit of a big scoop!?

‘Fairway To Heaven!’ is the longest of the Mystery Shorts. It will obviously appeal to golfing/sporting enthusiasts, but its scathingly comic look at ‘golf’ widens its appeal to anyone enamoured of a good old rip-roaring murder mystery! The HLGC faces a race against time to solve the crime before the world descends on Hollybush Landings… as do the audience. Why not… ‘chip in’ and ‘join the club’!?

‘Fairway To Heaven!’ requires 6 actors of (virtually) any age. 3F/3M.
