《高尔夫球场命案》是阿加莎·克里斯蒂所著的侦探小说，当时阿加莎·克里斯蒂的丈夫阿尔奇·克里斯蒂当时迷上了打高尔夫球，而这本书也顺势发生在了高尔夫球场上，阿瑟·黑斯廷斯在这个故事里遇到了他未来的妻子。
I looked up now, frowning slightly, into a pretty,
impudent face, surmounted by a rakish little red hat.
A thick cluster of black curls hid each ear. I judged
that she was little more than seventeen, but her face
was covered with powder, and her lips were quite
impossibly scarlet.
Nothing abashed, she returned my glance, and
executed an expressive grimace.
"Dear me, we've shocked the kind gentleman!" she
observed to an imaginary audience. "I apologize for
my language! Most unladylike, and all that, but Oh,

"Really?" I said politely. "How unfortunate."
"He disapproves!" remarked the lady. "He

laughter.
"I knew you weren't such a mutt as you looked," she
cried.
Her laughter was so infectious that I could not help
joining in, though I hardly cared for the word "mutt."
The girl was certainly all that I most disliked, but that
was no reason why I should make myself ridiculous
by my attitude. I prepared to unbend. After all, she
was decidedly pretty. …
"There! Now we're friends!" declared the minx.
"Say you're sorry about my sister—"
