Agatha Christie was a keen, if nervous, golfer and regularly played at both Torquay and Churston golf courses.

Torquay golf course and the cliffs at Petitor seem to have been the inspiration for the opening scenes of Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, while her knowledge of golf also inspired her novel Murder on the Links.
