Over Buffalo</em>), THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY
takes audiences to</font> <font
style="font-size:13px" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000"> the Quail
Valley Country Club, where club president
Bingham (Mike Rogan) has discovered that the
great golfer he thought would play for his club
has been recruited to play for the rival country
club by his counterpart, the cocky and arrogant
Dickie (Christopher Napp), risking a large wager
that Bingham had placed on their competition.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font style="font-size:13px"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"
color="#000000"> Fortunately, Bingham's newly
hired hand, Justin (William Sonnie), is an
excellent player, and happens to be in love with
the clubhouse waitress Louise (Natalie Dolezal).
All seems right once Bingham finagles Justin's
nomination, but soon bad weather, a missing
engagement ring, the appearance of Mrs. Bingham
(Laurel Bryant) and Bingham's lustful club
vice-president (Erika Hansen) cause everything
to hook swiftly into the rough! Can Quail Valley
avoid their own hazards, or will it be a
hilarious double-bogey for all?</font></p>
<p><font style="font-size:13px" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">Filled
with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and
over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it's a
furiously paced comedy. A charmingly madcap
adventure about love, life, and man's eternal
love affair with… golf.</font></p>
