Summer at Tangents by Roderick Easdale

Tangents is a decaying village with a poorly attended church and a struggling golf club. Now the church is threatened with closure. So the vicar’s good friend, a wily golf club committee member, acts to save the church in ways which also benefit the club and his friends and involve duping almost everyone along the way.
