Sydney always loved coming to the golf course early in the morning. Everything was all fresh and new. The sun hadn’t quite come up, yet and the dew on the ground and low hanging fog made the course look scary and serene at the same time. In the distance, Sydney could here the maintenance crew cutting the fairway and sprinklers where watering the green to add the finishing touches to make the course ready for competition.
At this time of the day, you never know what could happen at the golf course.
Sydney started setting up the tent for the days lessons. Chair, table, flowers, books; she repeated this set up 6 times. She took pride in creating a warm and calming atmosphere at the Academy for the executives. Because once they stepped on the driving range, the frustrations and stress of trying to learn this game, set in.
The golf swing is such a beautiful motion, unfortunately, most of these guys look like pirates wielding swords. All tight and tension, no rhythm and flow. Not like the professionals.
Sydney looked through a file on her computer and printed out the appointment sheet for the day. His name caught her eye and she was smiling before she could stop herself.
2:00 – 2:30: John Osha.
She was really looking forward to seeing him. Even though they only had one conversation yesterday and a series of flirty texts last night, Sydney couldn’t help but admit that she really like him. And, she hadn’t felt this way about someone in a long time.
She couldn’t quite figure out what it was about him, though. He was a winner and people gravitated towards him. That trait made him confident, but not cocky. The way he looked at her and asked the right questions made Sydney feel special. She wanted to feel that again. If even for a minute.
Sydney started to move tables and chairs around, again. She was anxious. She felt like a mother bird tending to her nest. She just couldn’t sit still.
To calm herself down, Sydney took a walk out of the tent on to the driving range. The sun was fully up now and it was warm. No one was on the main driving range so she could walk out as far as she wanted. It was so peaceful out here.
She closed her eyes and just felt the warmth of the sun on her face. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She turned around and opened her eyes.
And, there he was, standing in the entrance of the tent smiling at her.
Early mornings at the golf course are just the best. Everything is fresh and new and you never know what can happen at the golf course.
