The Nineteenth Hole
Pinecrest Country Club, Caldmere
A Pinecrest member is found dead in the pine rough off the fourteenth fairway — and the body didn't walk there on its own.
Everyone has something to hide.
A former PGA Tour hopeful who washed out and landed at Pinecrest. Likable, athletic, and far more observant than his easygoing demeanor suggests.
The closest thing Caldmere has to royalty. Served on the state bench for 22 years. Adjudicates club disputes with courtroom authority. Fair, formal, and impossible to intimidate.
Thirty-one years keeping Pinecrest's eighteen holes immaculate. Reserved, methodical, observant. Could tell you exactly where someone was standing by shoe impressions in the grass.
