Another story I wrote a few years ago. Hope you enjoy.

This is my second go at this story; I have added a little more vivid
detail and tried to correct the many errors. Please let me know what

these tournaments and an encounter I will never forget. Read more »

By scanning the schedule, it appeared as though it would be another one of those dull days with students that think that golf comes by osmosis.

Then I noticed a new student on the schedule, at least she was new to me. “Amy – 12:45″. The schedule gave no information as to the student’s general description; I disregarded this as just another lesson. Read more »
