Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755) is perceived as a two-bit hick town, filled with one-bit hicks. But the mayorโs wife, Mrs. Jim Bob Buchanon, seeks to change that perception with her latest scheme: a charity golf tournament! Which presents a bit of a challenge, since no one in Maggody plays golf and there is no course. But when the prize for the first hole-in-one is announcedโa top-of-the-line bass boatโsuddenly Maggody goes golf crazyโฆwith limited success and maximum domestic disorder.
Besides the townspeople, there are several outside figures who actually know how to play the game. Among them: The low-level PGA player Bonaparte Buchanon and Tommy Ridner, an instructor from a nearby country club. As for Sheriff Arly Hanks? She has more important things to worry about on, and off, the jobโand just wishes all this golf business would go away.
When Tommy Ridner beats the odds and sinks the first hole-in-one, it looks like whatโs done is done...until heโs found in his bass boatโdead. Now Arly Hanks is facing a complicated murder investigation for which darned near everyone in town is a suspect.
