“The Final Stroke”

It is 1925, and a party is being held to celebrate 30 years since the local golf club was established. Past and present members, the committee, and one or two celebrities are on the guest list. The Club President, Chip Dover, has also hinted that there will be a surprise announcement tonight. 

Whose card is about to be marked? Whose swing will be deadly? Find out in our 1920s themed murder mystery dinner.
