A hole in one.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The first Saturday she had gotten off from work in a long time. The weather was perfect; it was sunny but not too hot and not too cold. As she sat in the car outside Prairie View golf course in Topeka, Kansas, she found that she was nervous to be golfing with this new man in her life. She didn't want to embarrass herself or look silly in front of him.

She waited patiently for him to rent the golf cart and pay the green fees and then they headed to the first hole. After stretching and applying sunscreen, she walked up to the tee box, put the ball on the tee, and got in position. She swung the golf club for the first time in years, and to her dismay she totally missed the ball. She looked over at Justin timidly and they both burst out laughing. He offered her some advice to help, and on the second swing she hit the ball and it landed on the green.

As she and Justin continued golfing through the next 8 holes they each got a little better. By the time they got to hole 9 they were joking around and giving each other a hard time. Since they had decided to not to keep score they decided it was a tie, even though she knew he had won. As they drove the golf cart back to the club house, she felt as though their second date had been a success.

  5. I thought the story was short and sweet. Captured a brief moment in time well, but I would suggest a different headline.
