Bullying snob Alistair Kingslake is killed with a golf iron at the Whiteacres golf club. After another member, Miles Tully, tells Barnaby about illegal gambling among players, another member, who has had an 'odd phone call' is also slain. A figure in a blue tracksuit is seen at both murders. In fact there have been unreported assaults on members over the months. Barnaby discovers that the gambling is rife and the social-climbing steward , Mrs. Fountain, and her two warring sons are lending money to the gamblers and assaulting them if they fail to pay. Indeed Mrs. Fountain's scheming has driven the killer to commit the Dogleg Murders.
译文(3): 恃强凌弱的势利小人Alistair Kingslake在Whiteacres高尔夫俱乐部被高尔夫铁杆打死。在另一名成员迈尔斯·塔利（Miles Tully）向巴纳比（Barnaby）讲述玩家之间的非法赌博之后，另一名接到“奇怪电话”的成员也被杀。两起谋杀案中都有一个身穿蓝色运动服的人。事实上，几个月来发生了未报告的针对成员的袭击事件。Barnaby发现赌博很普遍，社交攀爬管理员Fountain夫人和她的两个儿子正在借钱给赌徒，如果他们不付钱，就会对他们进行袭击。事实上，喷泉夫人的阴谋驱使凶手实施了狗腿谋杀案。
