User blog:Dragonzako/Fanfic: Two Holes, One Stroke

Two Holes, One Stroke 

[Lori sat on her bed with a sad expression over her face with a flier for the Royal Woods golf tournament in her hand.]

Lori (sad): Another year to win this, yet I’m literally going to lose this again. Why did I pick this up? I still remembered the first time I’ve entered the tournament.

''[We cut to a 15 year old Lori with her golf attire on a golf course with a confident smirk on her face. She was at the last hole in the course. All she needed to do was the hit the golf ball into the hole and she would beat her opponent. Confident she would win; she hit the golf ball with her club. She saw it in the sky heading towards its destination, but then took a sudden turn towards the pond and landed there.]''

''Lori (confused): What? ''

''Referee: (hands the trophy to Rob) Uh, tough luck kid. ''

''Rob (ecstatically):  Yes, I finally accomplished something in my life! (pumps his fist in the air)''

[Lori sighs.]

Lori (annoyed): Then there was last year! That was a total disaster!

[We cut now to a 16 year old Lori on a golf course at the last hole.]

''Lori (in her mind): (hits the golf ball with her club) This time, I literally will win. I’ll finally have my first trophy! ''

''[Lori hears the golf ball hit something and jumps in joy, but realizes that her right hand is no longer holding onto her club. She looks to see the scorecard and that someone else won.]''

''Lori (shocked): Then what did my golf ball hit then? And where’s my golf club? (looks around)''

[Lori spots a man lying down in the ground groaning in pain and spots her missing items near him.]

''Lori: Sorry! ''

[The man weakly lifts up a thumbs up and his hand collapses.]

Referee (deadpan): Fore, would have worked better.

''Lori (mad): Who asked you? (points her finger at him)''

''Referee: Nobody. (walks away from Lori)''

[The crowd of several people starts to laugh at Lori and she begins to feel embarrassed and runs away.]

Lori (sad): I’m never going to live that down. (Sighs) Maybe I could just give this another shot?

[Lori notices the flier says about having a partner and that it’s optional. Lori starts to ponder about it while walking back and forth in her room.]

Lori: A partner? I could have one and that way I would have a better way to win. (opens the door to leave)

[Lynn sees Lori come outside of her room and goes up to her.]

Lynn: Hey Lori.

Lori: (brushes Lynn to the side) Not now Lynn, I need a partner!

Lynn (disappointed): Oh, okay.

Lori (in her mind): Now who would be the perfect partner for the golf tournament? Someone I can depend on and can play the sport well. (stops in her tracks)Who did I just bump into? (turns around to see Lynn walking away back to her own room) Lynn! Perfect, she’s the master of sports!

Lori: Lynn, wait! (runs up to her)

Lynn: What is it?

Lori: How would you like to be my partner for the upcoming golf tournament?

Lynn: (smiles) I would be glad to. (her expression falters) But I’m not good at golf and I don’t know anything about it.

[Lori gets a shocked expression on her face.]

Lori (confused): You don’t know golf? How? Aren’t you the queen of sports?

Lynn: Even the queen of sports has her limitations. (shrugs)

Lori (in her mind): Lynn doesn’t know golf. I’m doomed, unless I can teach her the game, but I’ll have to do it fast since the game is coming up in three days. (starts to ponder what to do with a worried expression.

Lynn: (notices Lori’s worried expression) You could train me, you know. I’m a fast learner when it comes to sports. (points at herself)

Lori: (ponders about it) Okay, wait for an hour and I’ll train you. (goes back to her room)

Lynn: Okay.

[Cut to Lynn in her golf outfit waiting outside in the front yard for Lori. Golf equipment scattered around the front yard. ]

Lynn (in her mind): This is starting to get boring. (looks back at the house with her expressions changing from bored to sad) Why did I have to lie to Lori? If she finds out, I’m doomed. (starts to fidget a little) No, no I have to keep this act up until we win the tournament, maybe then with her trophy she won’t be that mad at me when I tell her the truth. (stops fidgeting)

[Lori comes out of the house with a packet in her hand.]

Lynn (in her mind): Lori came! Finally! (notices the packet in Lori’s hand) Why does she have a packet?

Lori: Here. (hands the packet to Lynn)

[Lynn hesitates and keeps staring at the packet. Lori starts to get annoyed by Lynn not taking the packet.]

Lori (annoyed): Here! (shoves the packet into Lynn’s hands) This packet goes over everything you need to know for the golf tournament. Try to finish it 2 days. (pats Lynn’s shoulder) Okay?

Lynn: Yeah, okay.

Lori: Thank you, you’re a life saver! (removes her hand from Lynn’s shoulder) This is going to be great! (leaves back to the house)

Lynn (disappointed): Yeah, great. (looks down in sadness)

[Cuts to Lori in her room with her phone.]

Lori: Hopefully Lynn reads the packet. (laughs) What am I saying? It’s Lynn; she’ll do anything sports related.

[Cue to the next day.]

[Lynn found Lori sitting on the couch with her phone.]

Lynn: Lori! I have a question on the…

Lori: (rolls her eyes) Lynn you don’t have to ask me anything as I gave you the packet. Just read it. (continues to look at her phone)

Lynn: Yeah, but it would better if we sp… I mean asking you would be good though. (darts her eyes away)

[Lori’s phone rings.]

Lori (ecstatically): It’s Bobby! (gets off the couch)

Lynn: Wait, Lori!

Lori: You’ll be fine. Just go read the packet. (goes up the stairs)

[Lynn sighs.]

[Cue to the next day.]

[Lori goes outside and is surprised when she sees Lynn with golf clubs and a weird miniature golf course.]

Lori: What is this? (pointing to the golf course)

Lynn: (smiles) It’s a handmade golf course, I had Lana help me with it.

Lori: This is perfect. (smiles)

Lynn:  Yeah, now w..

Lori: Now you can practice golf by yourself. (looks to Lynn) This is a smart plan. Now we can crush the competition there and win! (begins to leave)

Lynn (confused): Wait! (grabs Lori’s wrist) Where you’re going?

Lori: Registration for the tournament, if we don’t register we literally won’t be able to enter. (takes Lynn’s arm off her wrist and begins to leave again)

Lynn: You could take me with you!

Lori: (points to the golf course) You can practice, I can register both of us so there’s no reason for you to come.

[Lynn’s smile turns into a frown, but Lori doesn’t seem to notice. Lori leaves to Vanzilla and leaves Lynn alone. Lynn in frustration throws her golf club down.]

[The day of the tournament finally came with the birds chirping in the morning. We cut to Lori in her bed with her golf equipment right beside her bed.]

Lori: (wakes up and yawns) Today’s the day! (gets out of bed and takes her golf equipment with her)

[Lori goes into Lynn’s room and sees Lynn sleeping. The bed next to Lynn’s was empty since Lucy left to Haiku’s house.]

Lori: (uses a blow horn) Wake up Lynn!

[Lynn wakes up startled.]

Lynn: Lori! (puts her hands in the air) What was that for?

Lori: To get you up. Come on, we have to get ready for today.

Lynn: (rolls her eyes) Fine. (gets out of her bed)

Lori: I’m going to give you a little quiz to see if you read the packet. What’s a birdie?

Lynn: A score of one less than par.

Lori: Correct! What’s a duff?

Lynn: A bad shot.

Lori: (ponders for a while) Ooh, I bet you won’t be able to solve this one. What is the maximum number of clubs you are allowed to carry in your golf bag?

Lynn: 14.

[Lori gets a shocked expression, but it quickly turns to suspicion.]

Lori (suspiciously): You know for a person who said they didn’t know golf, you awfully know a lot.

Lynn: (smiles smugly) I told you, I’m a fast learner.

Lori (suspiciously): The last question though wasn’t from the book.

Lynn: (nervous) I-it wasn’t? (smiles awkwardly) I also kind of… mas- I mean searched it online so I could have more knowledge. Yeah, that’s it.

Lynn (in her mind): Way to go. She definitely is going to know something is off!

Lori: Okay, I guess. (shakes her head) I’ll wait in the car for you, get ready. Also you don’t need to bring anything, but yourself you can use my golf equipment. (leaves the room)

[Lynn sighs in relief.]

[Cut to Lynn getting into Vanzilla with Lori at the wheel. Lori was wearing the golf equipment bag.]

Lynn: So how long is the tournament?

Lori: 4 hours at least. (starts Vanzilla and drives it out of the driveway) There aren’t that many entering the tournament, well that I know of.

[The van ride was awfully quiet since Lynn didn’t know what to say to Lori to break the silence and Lori was focusing on the competition. They finally arrive to the golf tournament much to the joy of Lori and to the dismay of Lynn. Both exit Vanzilla and begin walk to the banner saying: ‘Welcome to the Royal Woods Golf Tournament’. A blank scorecard with their names on it alongside their competitors was near the banner. ]

Lori: This is what it comes down to Lynn. (points at the blank scorecard) Look, only 5 other opponents entered, this will be easy. (starts to walk forward  with Lynn following her)

Lynn (amazed): 5? I actually thought more would enter.

Lori (deadpan): (looks over to Lynn while having her hands on her hips) It’s Royal Woods, Lynn. You won’t expect much from a town like this.

Lynn: True.

[The referee walks up to them.]

Referee: If you are joining the competition, I have to tell you the holes are being reduced from 18 to 12.

[Lori gains a shocked expression.]

Lori (shocked): 12?

Referee: I was too lazy to have 18 holes for this year. (shrugs his shoulders and walks away)

Lori (mad): Are you kidding me? (stretches her arms out)

Lynn: Forget about him. (points to Hole 1) Let’s just start the tournament.

Lori: Fine. (starts to walk to Hole 1 with Lynn following behind her)

[Both start walking past multiple tents either selling food or toys such as a 4 inch Spinosaurus model or just stuffed animals with customers around it. They both finally made it to Hole 1 where the 5 other competitors where. Other people are around watching from benches, but it was very sparsely populated. The referee steps out and raises his hand in the air to signal silence.]

Referee: Welcome to the Royal Woods Golf tournament and now we have our 7 competitors. (pulls out a list and starts to read) We have Amy and Paula, Bob, Travis, Mason and Lori and Lynn. So… (lazily pulls out a megaphone) Let the game begin!

Travis: Shouldn’t there be… (looks around confused) You know, more to this tournament. Shouldn’t there be more staff here?

Referee: (groans in annoyance) Look, this isn’t some fancy golf tournament. Join an actual one as this is more of a very, very low budget one. (tone starts to become more sarcastic) Hey einstein, ever notice how we only have 1 scoreboard and how it’s so hard to see it, that people have to bring binoculars to see it! Heck, it’s at the last hole. So I have tally the scores on this list. (waves the list) We don’t even have much of an audience. Nobody sponsored the tournament this year so I had to spend my money on this and this was the best I could do and I was so tired I couldn’t care about others things to add to this tournament. So don’t questi..

Amy: Can we please start the tournament? I didn’t come here to hear your story about how bad this tournament is. It has a trophy at least that needs an owner so quit with your sob story.

[The referee feels offended.]

Referee: (through gritted teeth) Okay. We’ll begin! (points at Lynn and Lori) Start!

Lori: Us?

Referee (mad): Yes you two! It’s not like I’m pointing to air! (storms off)

[Lori looks to Lynn and she shrugs her shoulders. Lynn grabs a club and a golf ball from Lori’s golf bag and starts to walk to the starting point. She puts the golf ball down on the tee. Lynn positions herself to hit the golf ball.]

Lori: Lynn, just remember to hi… (hears the golf ball being hit and sees the golf ball land in the hole)

Lynn: Done. (sees Lori’s shocked expression) What?

Lori: You did great! I never saw that many people land a golf ball in the hole on their first try! (smiles)

Lynn: Uh, thanks. (hands the golf club to Lori) It’s your turn now.

Lori: Right. Now watch the master Lynn. (grabs the golf club and positions herself to hit the golf ball and hits it)

[The golf ball manages to get over most of the way and stops.]

Lynn (sarcastic): That really is what a master can do.

Lori: (glares at Lynn) Don’t be sarcastic.

Lynn: It’s only a joke.

[Lori ignores her and hits the golf ball again getting it into the hole.]

Referee: Good job, 3 pars so far. Alright you two continue with the rest of the holes, the rest will join you when they finish Hole 1.

Lori: Okay. (starts to walk to Hole 2)

[Lori places a golf ball on the tee and starts to position herself to hit the golf ball, but Lynn grabs her arm and Lori looks at her.]

Lori (confused): Lynn! What are you doing?

Lynn: Wait. (removes her hand from Lori’s arm and raises her hands) You’re going too fast on this. Try to focus on hitting the ball and try to position yourself a bit better; you’re putting too much pressure on yourself. Try to ease on your stance. Just listen to me… this once.

Lori: (rolls her eyes) Fine. (eases her stance and hits the golf ball and it lands in the hole)

Lynn: I told you it would work. (grabs Lori’s club while she is still in shock)

Lori: Thanks.

Lynn: No problem. Going too fast in a game can make you make mistakes and try to focus on having fun. Trust me it’s better than trying to get too much competitive as that can cloud your mind and put some stress on it. (gets into her position and focuses and hits the ball into the hole)

Lori: You’re right on that.

[Both walk over to Hole 3. Lori follows Lynn’s advice and hits the golf ball, but this time it lands in a sand trap. Lori yells in frustration.]

Lynn: Lori, no need to be mad.

Lori (mad): Why shouldn’t I be? I made a mistake and that could maybe cost us the tournament.

[Lynn rolls her eyes.]

Lynn: Yes. But mistakes can also help you learn, without mistakes we don’t learn. Also we’re all bound to make mistakes. Remember having fun helps, it doesn’t stress the mind. (taps her head) Your mistake wasn’t that bad.

Lori: Yes, it was… (ponders about last year’s tournament) You know you aren’t wrong. Last year I hit a person with my golf club and golf ball.

[Lynn tries to not laugh and Lori notices.]

Lori: Don’t laugh, it was embarrassing.

Lynn: (laughing) I’m sorry, but you have to agree it was somewhat funny.

Lori: It wasn… (remembers the incident and starts to laugh) To be fair, I basically thought I won it, but I didn’t. And the guy lifts his hand to give a thumbs up and then faints. (goes to the sand trap and hits the golf ball, it doesn’t land in the hole)

[Lynn was worried Lori was going to get mad, but Lori instead was being calm about it and hits the golf ball and this time it lands in the hole. Lori jumps in joy. Lynn smiles at this.]

Lynn (in her mind): Looks like Lori isn’t getting stressed about this anymore. Maybe I should tell her the truth; no she’s so happy now. If I tell she’ll get mad at me. She’s finally not trying to compete and just enjoying the sport… with me.

Lori: (waves Lynn over) Lynn, your turn.

[Lynn goes to Lori. Cut to a montage of them playing golf. At Hole 4, Lori hits the golf ball and it lands in the hole, but Lynn taps her shoulder and Lori notices her golf club wasn’t in her hand and had landed in the sand trap. Lori and Lynn laugh at this. At Hole 5, Lynn hits the golf ball and it hits the grass and starts to roll to the hole and lands into it with Lynn high fiving Lori. At Hole 6, Lori gives Lynn the chance to hit the golf ball first and gives her support to do it and Lynn hits the golf ball in and hugs Lori. Cut to them at Hole 7. Hole 7 was a simple design and looked easier than Hole 1 as the distance from the tee and hole was a lot closer.]

Travis: I’m done. This tournament is dumb, these holes look terrible. (starts to walk towards the exit)

Bob: I’m joining him. (follows Travis)

Referee: Fine, have it your way! You two meant nothing to this tournament. (pulls out his list and crosses off Bob and Travis)

[Lori and Lynn manage to finish Hole 7 and go to Hole 8 after Lori finished her turn at Hole 8, Lynn went up. Lori watches and starts to ponder.]

Lori (in her mind): I’m having fun with Lynn, but why am I feeling bad about this? I did maybe use Lynn just for the tournament, maybe I should come clear to her. (shakes the thought out of her head) She’s too happy now; it would make her sad if I told her I only wanted her to be my partner since she is a sports master. I didn’t even treat her that well before she told me not to stress over competing.

[After Lynn was done, Mason went up for his turn. Mason positioned to hit the golf ball and hit it and it started to roll towards the sand trap, but took a weird turn towards the hole. Lynn however noticed Mason’s hands on the golf club looked off.]

Lynn: (to Referee) There’s something off about Mason. His hands are on his golf club and he’s moving it in a weird way.

Mason (nervous): I’m not doing anything wrong.

[Referee walks up to him and grabs the golf club and it looked like a remote control. The referee fiddled with it and the golf ball was moving around.]

Referee (amazed): Wow, just really smart! Here. (goes to hand the golf club back to Mason to snap it in half, tone becomes more mad) Get out of here! (points to the exit)

[Mason leaves.]

Phoebe: Amy that just leaves us and these two losers.

Amy: Yeah except at the next hole I’m going to tell who the real winner of this tournament will be, me.

Phoebe (awkward): Technically me since we are partners. (chuckles nervously)

Amy: (groans in frustration) Never correct me. (points at her)

Phoebe: Okay.

[Cut to Hole 9 where Amy starts to walk over to Lori.]

Amy: Hey Lori.

Lori: Oh, uh Amy right? So what do you want?

Amy: Nothing, just to tell you that we’re going to win.

Lori: Not exactly as me and Lynn are going to win this.

Amy (condescending): Yeah since you and your little sister are going to beat me.

Lori: (glares at her) What is that supposed to mean?

Amy: Nothing just that I’m going to win. Just try to play your best. (starts to walk away) If you can, loser.

[Lori growls in anger and Lynn walks up to her.]

Lynn: Lori. Are you fine?

Lori (mad): No! We’re going to win this tournament now!

Lynn: But…

Lori (mad): But nothing! Go and hit the golf ball and try to not make any mistakes!

[Lynn sacredly does what Lori says and she tries to position herself to hit the golf ball.]

Lori (frustrated): Lynn just hit it! You’re just wasting time!

[Distracted Lynn hits the golf ball which lands in the pond.]

Lori (mad): Are you kidding me, Lynn? Why did you do that?

Lynn: I did it bec…

Lori: Forget it! Just get the ball and hit it again.

[Lynn gets the golf ball and hits it into the hole this time.]

Lori: Finally!

[Lynn looks down in sadness.]

[Cut to Hole 10 where Amy manages to get a hole in one without a sweat.]

Lori: We can so do better than that! Alright Lynn listen to me, just hit the ball. Don’t try to make any mistakes, remember what we’re here for.

Lynn (in her mind, sarcastic): Yeah, what ‘we’re here for’.

Lynn: (sighs) Fine. (hits the golf ball and it lands in the hole)

Lori: Good job, Lynn. (smiles)

[Unbeknownst to Lori, Lynn wasn’t smiling.]

[Cut to Hole 11 where Lynn hits a golf ball, but it lands near the hole. Lynn hits it again landing it in the hole.]

Lori (mad): Lynn! What did I say about making mistakes?

Lynn: Yeah, bu…

Lori (mad): Enough! Your mistake might cost us the trophy and the chance to beat that Amy! (ignores Lynn flinching) Just go get me some water from one of the tents!

[Lynn listens to Lori and leaves. Unbeknownst to Lori, Amy is right behind her.]

Amy: You aren’t going to win Lori.

Lori: Yeah right. I can totally win this by myself!

Amy: Yourself? What about your partner?

Lori: (groans in frustration) Forget about Lynn! The only reason I brought her along was because she was a sports master or I would have never had her here! But she makes mistakes that I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost the tournament due to her! I never even wanted a partner and if she never learned anything about golf, I would have just left her there as winning this tournament is all what matters to me and beating you! (hears a water bottle fall on the ground and sees a distraught Lynn)

Lori: Lynn I…

Lynn (mad): Save it! I should have known you were using me for this tournament and I was patient through it, but you treated me like dirt. (tone becomes more sad) The only reason I wanted to be your partner was to spend time with you so I lied about not knowing golf to maybe spend some time with you. I could have told you the truth, but I thought you would brush me off. Instead of trying to teach me you left me with a packet and didn’t even try to care about me. When we got here you kept stressing over the competition, but when I told you not to you stopped. Then we were having fun it seemed you cared about spending time with me. But now all you care is about that stupid trophy and beating Amy! Keep your stupid trophy! (runs off)

Referee (sad): Poor kid. (to Lori) You disgust me!

Lori (sad): Lynn wait!

Amy (sarcastic): Great job!

Lori (confused): Great job on what?

Amy: Of hurting your little sister’s feelings. I mean seriously just well done. Even I never sunk that low!

Lori: Shut up!

Amy (happy): It’s the truth. So what’s more important to you, winning this competition and beating me or your little sister? (leaves)

[Lori looks to not see Lynn anywhere and sighs sadly.]

Lori (in her mind): I could make up with Lynn after this, there’s one more hole left.

Phoebe: Amy, do you think you’re going to win. She’s in the lead.

Amy: True, but since her little sister left her that’s going to make her sad and that would cause her to be conflicted and because of that, she’ll lose. Meaning that I will win!

Phoebe (awkward): We.

[Amy angrily glares at her.]

[Lori goes and looks up at the scoreboard and she’s ahead of Amy by 3 pars and if she hits the golf ball in she wins. Lori tries to hit the golf ball, but is conflicted to do so as she starts to remember.]

''Lori (annoyed): Here! (shoves the packet into Lynn’s hands) This packet goes over everything you need to know for the golf tournament. Try to finish it 2 days. (pats Lynn’s shoulder) Okay?''

''Lynn: Yeah, okay. ''

''Lori: Thank you, you’re a life saver! (removes her hand from Lynn’s shoulder) This is going to be great! (leaves back to the house)''

''Lynn (disappointed): Yeah, great. (looks down in sadness)''

''Lori: (rolls her eyes) Fine. (eases her stance and hits the golf ball and it lands in the hole)''

''Lynn: I told you it would work. (grabs Lori’s club while she is still in shock)''

''Lori (frustrated): Lynn just hit it! You’re just wasting time!''

[Distracted Lynn hits the golf ball which lands in the pond.]

''Lori (mad): Are you kidding me, Lynn? Why did you do that?''

Lynn: I did it bec…

''Lori: Forget it! Just get the ball and hit it again. ''

[Lynn gets the golf ball and hits it into the hole this time.]

''Lori: Finally! ''

[Lynn looks down in sadness.]

''Lori (mad): Lynn! What did I say about making mistakes?''

Lynn: Yeah, bu…

''Lori (mad): Enough! Your mistake might cost us the trophy and the chance to beat that Amy! (ignores Lynn flinching) Just go get me some water from one of the tents!''

''Lynn:  (tone changes to sad) The only reason I wanted to be your partner was to spend time with you so I lied about not knowing golf to maybe spend some time with you. Instead of trying to teach me you left me with a packet and didn’t even try to care about me. Then we were having fun it seemed you cared about spending time with me. But now all you care is about that stupid trophy and beating Amy! Keep your stupid trophy!''

Lori (in her mind): What’s more important to me, this competition or my little sister? (thinks about it) I made my decision.

[Lori goes to swing at the golf ball and drops the golf club and Amy, Phoebe, Referee and the crowd are shocked by this.]

Amy (shocked): Hey! Where are you going?

Lori: To my little sister! She’s more important to me than this tournament! ( runs off)

Referee (happy): Yes! Go to her! (starts to tear up)

Amy: Since there’s nobody left except me, do I win?

Referee: Yeah, here’s your prize.

[Referee hands her a little gold trophy.]

Amy (shocked): What? Where’s the trophy?

Referee (deadpan): That’s the trophy. I told you this tournament wasn’t funded well. That trophy image on the filer was something I got off of Google. (laughs) Enjoy this! (leaves)

[Amy growls.]

[Cut to Lori trying to find Lynn and finds her sitting down.]

Lori: Lynn!

[Lynn turns around.]

Lynn (sarcastic): What are you here for? Isn’t your trophy the other way? (glares at her)

Lori (in her mind): I deserve this.

Lori (sympathetic): Look I’m sorry. I treated you terribly and I used you for the stupid tournament. Truth is you’re more important to me than some stupid trophy. (Lynn’s glare softens) I got so blinded by competition that I wasn’t caring about you and when Amy challenged me, I got competitive again, but didn’t realize that I was berating you badly. I didn’t even know how you felt! I know I lied to you and that was bad, but one thing is true. I did have fun with you and if you want we could play golf again.

Lynn: A tournament?

Lori (sympathetic): No! Just us, spending time with one another just like you wanted in the beginning. I’m sorry Lynn. Do you forgive me?

[Lynn ponders about it and starts to smile. Before Lori could react, Lynn hugs her.]

Lynn: I forgive you. But the golf course we’ll be playing on will be the one me and Lana made.

Lori: Sure. I promise Lynn, I’ll never have my competitiveness blind me again.

Lynn: (smiles) Glad to hear it.

[The two begin to walk back to Vanzilla to play golf at home. The scene fades to black.]

'''The End! '''

Trivia

Debuts: Lori and Lynn

My first fanfic and it took a while to make. Honestly I felt some pressure while making this so that’s why it took some time to finish. Also the tournament part was hard to write since well I tried to make this like an actual golf tournament, but felt it was too difficult. Also the reason why the other competitors weren’t shown as much was due to the fact it would drag the story a bit too much.

The title is inspired by the story. The two holes represent two ways Lori can do for the tournament; she either has fun with Lynn or competes for the sake of the trophy and not care. The stroke represents her choice.

The reason Lori was characterized like this wasn’t because I dislike her as that would be hard to do to one of my favorite characters. In Selfie Improvement she seemed to care more about competition to beat someone and be the best which clouds her mind to the point of ignoring her family and even her boyfriend. While she feels bad for ignoring Bobby, in the end she just goes back to competing. So why not have a story where the competition blind her mind again, but has her ignore one of her siblings.
