Describe all four of them completing the 18 holes and arriving back at the clubhouse. Jessica in her muddy Tretorns and Lisa in her muddy - everything. Both girls tired of their muddied state. Sitting on a bench, they both kick off their shoes - muddy water draining from both sets of shoes. How gross. Both pairs new and pristine at the start of the day.....now ruined. Describe them debating which pair was worse off. Describe that conversation.
Describe the girls making a truce as their emotions settled. They had an idea to memorialize the day by driving the golf cart back to the stream to get their pictures take in the their sullied state holding their formerly prized sneakers.
When they arrive at "the scene of the crime" they were laughing about the absurdity of the days events. As they were getting set for their selfies, the course manager showed up to see what they were up to. Janet had worked at the course for years and had evolved into an arrogant middle-aged woman. No patience for these young girls. No patience for anyone. Attired in her immaculate club uniform, Janet wore her white polo with green trim, pressed white slacks and pristine white canvas Keds. She arrives at the stream to the sight of muddied Jessica and Lisa. "What is this Tomfoolery?" she mumbled as she pulled up. Stepping out of her cart, she approaches the girls asking what they are up to and why they look so filthy. She maintains a distance as she is clearly revolted by their muddy appearance. Janet's never seem such a display of unflattering filth. Indignant. "What happened to you two?" "Have you no pride in your appearance?" Describe the arrogant tone of Janet to the girls.
As Janet's rant continues, describe how Janet manages to fall in the muddy stream that she was decrying in her speech to the girls. (She was not pushed or pulled in.). Describe her ruining her entire white outfit and sneakers and the horror on her face.
After what felt like an eternity of navigating the golf course, Jessica, Lisa, Mark, and John finally teed off their final balls on the eighteenth hole. The day had been a mix of laughter and mishaps, and as they made their way back to the clubhouse, Jessica couldn’t help but feel exhausted and muddied. Her Tretorns, once a symbol of her style, were now drenched in mud and water, while Lisa's entire outfit had succumbed to the same fate, making her look like she had taken a dip in a swamp.
Once inside the clubhouse, the girls plopped down on a nearby bench, both of them tired of their muddied states. They kicked off their shoes, and with a squelch, muddy water drained from both pairs, pooling at their feet—a truly gross sight.
“Ugh, can you believe this?” Jessica said, wrinkling her nose at her Tretorns, now looking almost unrecognizable. “I thought these were going to be my lucky shoes today.”
“Lucky?” Lisa replied, rolling her eyes at her own soggy mess, “Mine look like they went through a torture test! There’s mud everywhere! I feel like I’m wearing the worst shoes on the course now.”
They exchanged incredulous glances, both aware that their pristine shoes from the beginning of the day had transformed into disgusting heaps. “Okay, but which ones are worse?” Jessica asked, trying to lighten the mood.
“I mean, at least yours were cute,” Lisa said, gesturing to what was left of her sneakers. “I didn’t even get to show off my outfit before I ended up in that stream. I don't think I can ever wear these again without cringing.”
Jessica chuckled despite herself. “True, but the fact that mine used to be brand new makes it worse! They weren't even a day old!”
As the laughter began to bubble up, the tension between them eased. Both girls realized that, for all their competitive nature, they were bonded by the embarrassment of the day. “You know, we should totally memorialize this disaster,” Jessica suggested, a gleam in her eye. “Let’s drive the golf cart back to the stream and take selfies. We can hold our ruined shoes for posterity!”
Lisa agreed with a grin, and they hopped into the golf cart, the mood lifting as they drove back to “the scene of the crime.” Upon arrival, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of the day’s events.
Just as they positioned themselves for their selfies, the course manager, Janet, pulled up in her golf cart, her expression a mix of irritation and disbelief. Janet had worked at the course for years and had morphed into an arrogant middle-aged woman with a reputation for being uncompromising. Dressed in her immaculate club uniform—a white polo with green trim, pressed white slacks, and pristine white canvas Keds—she was the epitome of polished.
“What is this tomfoolery?” she huffed as she stepped out of her cart, eyeing the two girls as if they were a pair of muddy dogs. “What on Earth are you two doing, and why do you look so filthy?” She held her nose slightly, maintaining a distance as if their muddy appearance might contaminate her perfect uniform.
Jessica and Lisa exchanged a glance, stifling giggles at Janet’s clear revulsion. They could hardly believe someone could be so judgmental over a pair of muddy shoes.
“Have you no pride in your appearance?” Janet continued, shaking her head with disbelief. “This is a golf course, not a pigsty!”
As Janet ranted, she stepped back to emphasize her point, her well-polished shoes meeting an unexpected squelch as she failed to notice a slick patch of mud behind her. In a spectacular and abrupt misstep, she lost her footing and tumbled backward into the very stream she was critiquing. Water splashed everywhere as she landed with a horrified expression, her pristine white outfit now completely ruined, splashes of mud cascading over her.
The shock on her face was priceless, her expression morphing from indignation to disbelief as she sat there, soaked and covered in mud. Her once pristine Keds, now marred, mirrored the girls’ own plight.
Jessica and Lisa looked at each other and broke into laughter, the absurdity of the day reaching a delightful peak. Just moments before, they had been on the receiving end of judgment, but now they found themselves sharing an unexpected camaraderie—muddied together, all three of them connected by the comedic chaos of the day.
