Chapter Thirty - A Special Day for Jennifer Dave woke early on Friday morning; as he stood in front of the mirror he looked carefully at his bruised face. He could clearly see a trace of yellow spreading under his eyes and he knew that two black eyes would soon color his face. He ate breakfast before he brushed his teeth and left for the Hawk's Hallow Golf Course. He practiced hard for three hours before he played eighteen holes. He picked up a game with three young juniors and enjoyed playing with the developing players. One youngster said he had seen Dave play hockey the night before and he asked if his face hurt. Dave told him that it only hurt a little; that was true, it looked much worse than it felt. It was mid afternoon when he returned to the trailer. Jennifer and both families were at the beach so he pulled on his swim suit and went to the pool for a good swim. He had decided he would swim as much as he could to try and maintain his conditioning during the ten days he would be away from hockey. As he pulled himself from the pool after a tiring forty-minute swim, he saw Jennifer's family car pull through the front gate of the campground. She spotted him and, after her father stopped, she jumped out and walked over to Dave. He kissed her tenderly before he dried off. They walked back to the campsite arm-in-arm. Dave's father arrived home shortly after that and Ron had the barbecue ready at the same time. Julie and Beth were gone out as usual; as Dave sat with Jennifer and both sets of parents he asked, "Mom and Dad, Heather and Ron, as you all know, Dad and I are leaving on Sunday for Hamilton. I was wondering if maybe Jennifer and I could stay at the house in town tonight and tomorrow night? It will be our last time together this summer." Ron and Heather whispered between themselves as did Roger and Carol. All four parents looked at each other for confirmation and finally all four nodded agreement. Jennifer hugged her parents while Dave hugged his. After eating a large supper, Dave and Jennifer each packed a small bag and kissed their parents goodbye before they left for town. As they drove to town they talked about the following day. Dave told Jennifer he had a special day planned just for the two of them. He wouldn't tell her what the details were but he did tell her that he had planned most of it for the previous summer - but because of his shooting incident he wasn't able to do it. He told her he was going to the golf course to practice in the morning but from dinnertime on the whole day was hers. Jennifer suggested they invite Katherine to eat with them on Saturday. Dave smiled and agreed. They also talked about inviting Katherine to join them when they got to town but Dave insisted they keep Friday evening private. It was Jennifer's turn to smile and she agreed. When they reached the house, Dave called Katherine and invited her to join them for supper the following evening. He had made reservations at a restaurant called the Claddaugh Room. Katherine thanked him for the invitation and agreed to join them. Dave and Jennifer went to a movie before they returned to the house. Dave took Jennifer to bed and made soft passionate love to her. He licked and teased her to two orgasms before she climbed on top of his hard pole and rode him to another loud, exciting orgasm. He climaxed shortly after her and they cuddled in bed until they fell asleep in each other's arms. Dave woke early the next day; when he looked in the mirror he thought he was looking at a raccoon - both his eyes were a black and purple mess. He showered, ate breakfast, and then went to Hornsby Golf Course. He practiced for four hours before returning to the house. He made a large spaghetti dinner for himself and Jennifer before they drove downtown. Dave had picked up some special maps of Edwardton the previous summer and one of the maps showed a walking tour of the town. Jennifer asked why they were taking a tour of the town he had lived in his whole life. He explained, "I know you are interested in architecture and old buildings. This tour details all the old houses from when the city was first built in the eighteen hundreds. We can even get tours of some of the houses. But I have to make one stop before the tour begins - I need to buy several pairs of long dress pants for the Open. PGA golfers are not permitted to wear shorts." He smiled when he referred to himself as a PGA player. They stopped at Dow's Menswear - where Roger had told Dave to see Joe. Joe fit Dave for three pair of dress pants: navy, beige, and white. Joe assured Dave he would have them altered by five o'clock. Dave paid and thanked the man before he left with Jennifer. The tour started at an old house called Beaconsfield. It was the home of the Heritage and Museums Society for QAI. The elegant symbol of Victorian elegance was built in 1877 for James Peake Jr., a prominent shipbuilder. The tour included the first two floors but the curator of the house was also a friend of Roger and he took them up to the third floor which was used mostly for office space. Dave and Jennifer loved the old house and spent over an hour checking out every detail of the classic building. The walking tour moved to many old homes located throughout the old town and took several hours just to walk from house to house. They toured Province House which was the meeting place for the Fathers of Confederation in 1864. The last house they toured was the former residence for the president of the University of QAI. The residence had been sold by the University because the extravagant building could not be justified as tuitions increased. It had been converted into a luxurious bed and breakfast. Again Roger knew the owner and had arranged for Dave and Jennifer to have a special tour. The huge old Victorian house was exquisite and Jennifer marveled at the detailed design and elegance. Dave and Jennifer walked arm-in-arm back to Beaconsfield. Dow's Menswear was on the way so they stopped and picked up Dave's dress pants. Joe wished Dave luck in the Open. Dave asked how he knew and Joe told Dave that Roger had called and mentioned the reason he would be in for some pants. When Dave and Jennifer reached Beaconsfield, he put his pants in the car. Jennifer was incredibly pleased with the tour and she kissed him lovingly for creating a special afternoon just for her. They still had thirty minutes before the time Katherine was expecting to meet them so they sat on the veranda at Beaconsfield and looked over the Edwardton Harbour. Jennifer cuddled into Dave's arms and told him how much she loved him and would miss him during the coming winter. They briefly talked about Dave's college scholarships and Jennifer mentioned that she wished she could go to college with him but the very high relative cost of US universities was just too expensive. They talked about her attending a maritime university and she told him she was now convinced that she wanted to become an engineer. She wanted to design and build extravagant structures. Dave hugged her and told her she would be a wonderful engineer. When it was time, they went to Dave's car then picked up Katherine. Katherine rubbed Dave's face and asked if it hurt. He smiled and said actually it did not anymore. She thanked Dave and Jennifer for inviting her as they drove to the restaurant. The meal was very nice. Dave had a filet mignon while each girl had a different kind of seafood. They enjoyed sharing a sweet chocolate desert before Dave got the bill and paid for their meal. On the way to Dave's house they stopped at Blockbuster and rented a movie. At the house they sat in the television room and watched the romantic movie. The three teens cuddled on the large couch. As the movie drew to an end, Jennifer kissed Dave passionately. After their lips parted Katherine kissed him passionately as well. He could feel his member begin to harden as Jennifer began massaging it through his shorts. Katherine became more aggressive, swung her leg over Dave's, and sat on his bulge and Jennifer's hand. She pushed herself against his chest and kissed him with all the passion she could generate. Jennifer moved from sitting beside Dave to standing in front of him and behind Katherine. She leaned into Katherine's back and began kissing her neck from behind as she slid her hands around Katherine and cupped her breasts. Katherine moaned into Dave's mouth as he moved his hands to Jennifer's round, pendulous breasts. Katherine's yellow skirt was now high on her hips as she ground her sex against Dave's hardness. Jennifer took hold of the hem of Katherine's white shirt and, as Katherine briefly moved back from Dave, she pulled the shirt over her head and off. Dave looked up at Katherine's smiling, lust-filled face and he asked, "Are you sure you want this?" She kissed him passionately again and whispered, "I have been dreaming of being with you since we broke up in June - I definitely want you. Jennifer is very beautiful and I have been a little curious about girls too." Dave kissed her again as Jennifer unfastened Katherine's bra and released her firm, round breasts. Dave kissed one nipple before he sucked it into his mouth. Katherine moaned louder as she increased the pace of her grinding motion. Jennifer moved to Dave's side and started to suck Katherine's other nipple as she slid her hand under Katherine's skirt. Katherine's panties were soaked from her excitement and Jennifer slid her hand inside the wet filmy material. Her finger found Katherine's engorged clit and, as she rubbed and teased the slippery nub, Katherine's orgasm peaked and she called out, "Yes, suck my nipples and rub my clit, harder... harder!" Dave could now smell Katherine's excitement; as the zesty aroma filled his lungs he had to taste the source. He waited for Katherine to slowly recover before he laid her on the couch then moved between her legs. He pushed the crotch of her panties to the side as he looked down at the soft slit between her legs. He couldn't see her inner lips, only a soft crease with a patch of black hair above it. He lowered his face and her scent became stronger and stronger. He could see her juices oozing and he couldn't resist licking the juices up with his tongue - she tasted wonderful. He traced his tongue up her slit and she moaned appreciation. He ran his tongue around her opening several times before sliding it inside. He again heard a moan, this time it was muffled. He looked up and Katherine was sucking one of Jennifer's round breasts as Jennifer sucked her breast. Dave moved his hands between Katherine's legs and used his fingers to part her outer lips. He could now see her pink inner folds and her hard little button peeking out of its hood. He flicked her clit with his tongue and she moaned. He pushed his tongue into her juicy opening and she moaned again. He moved his lips to her clit and began sucking and licking it and she went wild. He pushed a finger inside her tight opening and was pleased to find that her maiden-head was still in tact. He was careful not to push too far and break it as he licked and teased her to another loud orgasm. She bucked and kicked as her whole body convulsed in ecstasy. Dave and Jennifer continue to lick and tease her until she slowly regained control over her body. As Dave sat up she stared into his eyes and whispered, "That was unbelievable. I've never had an orgasm like that before. Will you please take my virginity tonight? I want you to be my first; I know I'm ready now." He kissed her before he replied, "I'd be honored to be your first." Jennifer added, "Dave was my first and he is very gentle. It will hurt a little but Dave will take his time. You will love it but I think it will be better if we were in a bed so let's go upstairs where we can be more comfortable." Katherine nodded agreement so Dave stood and put out a hand for each girl. He pulled them to their feet and looked down at the two topless beauties. He briefly kissed each one as he fondled their breasts. With an arm around each girl, he turned and started towards the door. Both girls grabbed their shirts and bras as he guided them towards the stairs and up to the spare bedroom which he and Jennifer had made home. His room only had a single bed and he couldn't imagine sleeping with Jennifer in his parents' bed, so the spare room was the best option. As soon as they entered the room, Jennifer took Katherine in her arms and kissed her passionately. Dave watched as their breasts pressed together and their tongues swirled in each other's mouths. Dave was hard as steel but continued to watch as Jennifer guided the slightly taller Katherine to the bed. Jennifer dropped to her knees in front of Katherine and unfastened her skirt. She eased the skirt and wet panties down Katherine's muscular thighs while admiring her neatly trimmed black bush. Katherine stepped out of her remaining clothes as Jennifer caressed her thighs and ass. Jennifer whispered, "Let me get you ready for Dave." Jennifer then slid her tongue along Katherine's wet slit enticing a moan from the nervous virgin. Katherine moved her hands to Jennifer's head and enthusiastically encouraged Jennifer to continue. Dave simply stood by the door and watched his two beautiful girlfriends make love. He thought about that phrase and realized it was true - he had two girlfriends again. He shook his head wondering how he could be so lucky but Katherine's moaning quickly brought him back to reality. He watched as Jennifer eased her onto the bed, pushing her into the center. Jennifer continued to lick and please Katherine as Katherine reached another loud orgasm. After easing Katherine down from her orgasm, Jennifer smiled at Dave and whispered, "She is definitely ready now." Dave's hardness was trying to bust out of his shorts. He walked to Jennifer. While still kneeling on the bed she pulled Dave's shirt over his head then unfastened his shorts, pushing his shorts and boxers down in one smooth motion. Dave's hardness bounced free of its confines and Katherine gasped as she realized she was finally going to make love to him. Jennifer briefly licked Dave's rock hard pole to add wetness before she guided him between Katherine's legs. Once Dave was kneeling between Katherine's legs, Jennifer moved so she was lying next to Katherine and she stared into Katherine's nervous looking eyes. Dave spoke softly, "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Katherine didn't answer but simply nodded as she reached up and caressed Dave's cheek with her hand. Dave kissed her fingers and was about to move his hard pole to her opening when his expression suddenly changed and he whispered, "I almost forgot to wear a condom. I'll be back in a second." He clambered off the bed and disappeared out the door. Katherine looked at Jennifer, "Thank God he remembered. I'm so nervous that I forgot." Jennifer kissed Katherine, "Dave will be as gentle as possible and once your hymen is broken you'll enjoy the wonderful feeling of making love to a special person like him." Dave ran back into the room and both Jennifer and Katherine snickered as his hard pole bounced up and down as he excitedly moved onto the bed. Jennifer took the condom packet saying, "Let me do that." She tore open the wrapper and guided the latex to the head of his penis. She expertly rolled the condom down his hardness before she moved back beside Katherine. Dave eased the tip of his prick into Katherine's still very wet opening. As the crown slowly slipped inside, he could feel the tightness encase his manhood. She was very tight so he moved very slowly as Jennifer whispered support into her ear. Dave continued to slowly move forward until he felt Katherine's maiden blockage. He allowed Katherine a moment to adjust to his girth before he whispered, "Okay, this is the hard part. This will hurt a little - so brace yourself." Dave pulled back a little then thrust forward slightly. He heard Katherine cry out in pain as he felt his penis ram into the maiden head but not break through. He was surprised and looked down at the anguished look on Katherine's face. Jennifer was consoling her and Dave tried to remain still until Katherine adjusted to the intrusion. After about thirty seconds Katherine whispered, "Jesus - that hurt. Did you get in?" Dave replied, "I'm not sure. I was waiting for you to relax before I tried to go any further." Katherine had a tear in her eye as she gasped, "Try it." Dave pushed forward gently but still felt a blockage. He looked down at Katherine and spoke softly, "I didn't get all the way though. Do you want me to try again?" Katherine nodded and as soon Dave saw her acknowledgement he pulled back slightly and thrust forward again. Katherine yelped as he felt his hardness break through this time. He immediately froze his position and simply waited for Katherine to relax. Her face was still distressed as he waited for her to open her eyes which were squeezed shut. After a long moment, her body began relaxing and she slowly opened her eyes - a few tears ran down her cheek. She tried to look happy as she said weakly, "Holy shit; that hurt." Dave didn't move for fear of causing more pain. He waited for Katherine to indicate she was ready. Eventually she moved her hands to his ass and eased him further inside. Dave could feel her tight love hole squeezing his pole as he eased further and further inside. When he was completely inside, Katherine whispered, "Just give me another minute to get used to you. I feel like you are going to split me in two." Dave nodded and leaned forward to kiss her. They kissed tenderly for a moment before Katherine pushed his hips back gently. Dave followed her lead and slowly pulled back. When he was almost completely withdrawn he gently pushed forward again. Even with the latex shield he could still feel Katherine's hot love tunnel squeezing him. When he reached bottom he pulled back slightly faster and then pushed forward again. Katherine's face had returned to normal and her moans seemed to be from pleasure now instead of pain. Dave slowly increased the pace of his thrusting and Katherine grasped the cheeks of his ass and pulled him inside harder and harder. They were both moaning and thrusting to meet each other as Jennifer began sucking Katherine's breasts. Dave's orgasm was growing quickly and he sensed that Katherine was also building to her own climax. He drove into her hard as he felt his balls fill up and as his euphoria flooded his senses he drove deep into her tight hole. As his prick began pulsating, Katherine reached her peak and she screamed through her loudest orgasm of the evening. Jennifer moved her head from Katherine's breasts as Dave collapsed on top of his black haired beauty. Katherine wrapped her arms around him and held him close as their two sweaty bodies pressed together as one. Dave closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of Katherine's soft touch. After resting for several minutes Dave rolled onto his back and Jennifer moved between his legs. She peeled the condom off and held it up like a trophy. Dave looked at the piece of latex and was surprised to see some blood on it. Jennifer said, "I'll get rid of this." She left the room and Dave and Katherine grinned at each other as they heard the toilet flush. Jennifer returned and cuddled into to his side not occupied by Katherine. Both girls laid their heads on his chest and he stared down at them in wonder. He had to again ask himself why he was so blessed - both girls looked heavenly. Dave noticed that Jennifer was still wearing her skirt and he realized that it was her turn. He lifted his head and kissed her tenderly before he sat up and moved her to the middle of the bed. He started by kissing one of her feet. He briefly glanced at Katherine who seemed to be staring at him questioningly. He whispered, "If you like, you can start on the other foot." Katherine smiled and moved to the foot of the bed next to Dave and began licking and sucking Jennifer's toes. They both moved slowly up Jennifer's leg until their faces met at the top of her thighs. Jennifer's skirt was around her waist so Dave whispered, "Let's get this out of the way." He rolled Jennifer to her side and Katherine pulled the zipper down on the back. Dave then rolled her onto her back and bent her knees so he could pull her skirt and panties off. He tossed the garment on the floor as he stretched her legs out and returned to licking her thigh. Katherine was licking right beside him and as they reached Jennifer's bare mound Katherine whispered, "I've never done this before. How do I know if I'm doing it right?" Dave smirked, "Just think about what you yourself like and listen to Jennifer's reactions. You'll figure it out. I'll go first." Dave licked Jennifer's oozing slit before he thrust his tongue into her opening. She moaned and he slid two fingers inside her wetness as he sucked her clit. Jennifer was moaning loudly as she begged for more. Dave looked up at Katherine and she smiled as she saw his shimmering juice- covered face. He motioned for her to take over and she tentatively moved her face to Jennifer's mound. She could smell Jennifer's scent as she traced her tongue over the wet nether lips. The taste was similar to what her fingers tasted like after masturbating. She slid her tongue between Jennifer's inner lips and her tongue was flooded with juices. She loved the flavour and worked her way to Jennifer's clit where she sucked the engorged nub into her mouth. She pushed a finger inside Jennifer's simmering love hole and listened as Jennifer moaned in excitement. Jennifer's fingers began weaving through Katherine's black hair. Dave sat on the end of the bed and watched Katherine explore Jennifer's body. Katherine licked and sucked Jennifer for five minutes before Dave moved to Jennifer's large round breasts and sucked a rubbery nipple into his mouth. Katherine and Dave double teamed Jennifer to long erotic orgasm. When Katherine finally lifted her face from between Jennifer's legs, she was covered in juices. She moved up to Dave but Jennifer pulled her into her arms and licked her own juices off Katherine's face before she kissed her passionately, "That was incredible, Katherine. Thank you. Now I would like to feel Dave inside me." She looked at Dave but he didn't have to be asked twice. He moved to the foot of the bed but before he could get in position Jennifer suggested, "Why don't you stand on the floor and take me from behind while I get another taste of this lovely black-haired pussy." Dave and Katherine both grinned as Katherine lay on her back in front of Jennifer. Jennifer began licking Katherine's soft lips as Dave moved behind her and entered her from behind. Dave was surprised how much leverage he had by standing on the floor and he soon found a steady firm rhythm. He also liked not having to wear a condom. Jennifer's face was being driven into Katherine's wet snatch but neither girl seemed to mind as both steadily grew to sensual orgasms. Dave was holding Jennifer's hips driving hard into her as he felt his orgasm build. Jennifer climaxed just before Dave but he soon felt his balls fill up and he drove his seed deep inside her hot tunnel. He continued to thrust at a low rate as his withering penis slowly deflated. He watched as Jennifer refocused on Katherine and soon Katherine moaned and screamed through an orgasm as Jennifer licked and sucked her wet slit. All three teens collapsed together onto the bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. Dave woke about eleven o'clock and woke Katherine. They both got up and dressed while Jennifer remained in bed waiting for Dave to return. Dave drove Katherine home and they kissed passionately in the car in Katherine's driveway. Katherine asked shyly, "Does this mean we are going steady again." Initially surprised at the question after they had just made such passionate love, he realized her need for a formal declaration, kissed her, and answered, "Absolutely. I love you very much and have missed you all summer. I was really jealous of Charlie and I'm truly happy to have back in my life." A tear ran down Katherine's face as she gasped, "I love you too, Dave." They kissed again before Dave got out and walked her to the door. He kissed her on the doorstep and asked, "Are you coming to the airport tomorrow to see me off?" She hugged him and whispered into his ear, "Wild horses couldn't keep me away." He smiled, "I'll call you tomorrow." He kissed her again and left. The drive home was filled with thoughts of the evening and he was actually hard again by the time he got home. He made soft love to Jennifer once more before they fell asleep in each other's arms. They both slept soundly until eight o'clock. Dave woke first and kissed Jennifer softly as she slowly awakened. They took a shower together before Dave made a large breakfast for them both. The phone rang just as they finished eating. Roger asked, "Are you almost ready to go to the airport?" Dave replied, "Yes, I'll meet you there at ten o'clock." Roger agreed and hung up. Dave called Katherine and told her he would pick her up in twenty minutes. Dave and Jennifer quickly cleaned the dishes and then he went up and finished packing. His father had left him a suit bag for his dress pants and his freshly dry cleaned golf shirts. He also packed a small suitcase before he carried both bags to the car. His clubs were already in the trunk and he put his golf shoes in his small suitcase. As Jennifer climbed into the front seat Dave locked the house. They picked Katherine up on the way to the airport. Katherine kissed both of them as she got in the car. The drive to the airport was brief but Jennifer asked Katherine how she felt and Katherine said she was a little sore but extremely happy. At the airport Dave carried his golf clubs into the airport while both Katherine and Jennifer each carried a bag. He waited for his father who showed up shortly with his mother and two sisters. Dave and Roger checked their bags before they walked to the waiting area with the family. Dave told Jennifer he would miss her and he kissed her goodbye. Katherine moved into his arms after Jennifer and this time she didn't hesitate to give Dave a passionate kiss even though his family was there. Roger and Carol had suspected that something was going on when Katherine suddenly reappeared in Dave's life the previous week and they weren't too surprised to see her kiss Dave passionately. But Beth and Julie had not known anything about Katherine's re- emergence and both looked at Dave with surprise. He simply smiled. He kissed his mother and sisters goodbye before he followed his father towards security. Just before he got in line for security both Katherine and Jennifer ran over and kissed him goodbye again. They wished him luck as well. The flight to Toronto took under three hours and Roger and Dave were soon walking to the car rental parking lot to get their car. The RCGA had offered to transport Dave and Roger but Roger had decided having their own car would be more convenient. Roger also hoped he could visit some old school friends who now lived in Toronto and surrounding areas. The drive to Hamilton took about an hour and Roger and Dave were soon checked into the Sheraton hotel. Dave was given a package at check-in. Once they reached their room Dave went through the package thoroughly. There was information about the golf course and local restaurants. There was an agenda indicating the golf draws for both the Pro-Am tournaments. The Monday round was in the afternoon with a one o'clock shotgun start. Dave was teeing off on the par-4 fifth hole and he reviewed the course information thoroughly. He liked the idea of a shotgun start which means that all the groups playing are allocated a starting hole. There were usually two groups on each hole and when the starter sounds a horn the first group would tee-off. When the first group is out of reach, the second group tees off. The beauty of this time-conserving format was that all teams finished at roughly the same time. It was only three o'clock; Dave suggested that they go to the course so he could practice for a while. He was already bouncing with excitement and he hoped swinging the clubs would relax him. Roger finally agreed and they loaded the clubs back into the car and headed for the small town of Ancaster just west of Hamilton. They found the course easily but when they entered the pro shop the club pro politely told them that the course was closed for the Open. After Dave told the pro he was playing in the Open, the pro immediately changed his tune. He told Dave that he was welcome to use the practice facilities as much as he wanted. He did warn that there were a number of construction crews around adding bleachers and camera platforms for the live broadcast. Dave kind of shivered with excitement as he thought about the tournament being televised live. He thanked the pro and got four buckets of practice balls. He and Roger went to the practice range and they shared Dave's clubs as both hit balls for an hour. Dave then went to the putting green and putted for an hour before chipping for a half hour. It was after suppertime when they finally left the course. Dave thanked the pro and the pro wished him luck. Dave and Roger went out for supper before returning to the hotel. An hour after returning to the hotel, Dave went to the fitness room and was pleased to see some similar equipment to what the Missiles used for hockey conditioning. He worked out hard on various weight equipment for an hour before getting on a bicycle and riding hard for thirty minutes. He rested for ten minutes then jumped in the pool and swam hard for thirty minutes. As he pulled himself out of the pool completely exhausted, he noticed a man sitting in a chair beside the pool. The man looked familiar and it took Dave a few minutes to realize who it was. He smiled at PGA golfer Jeff Sluman as he dried himself. Jeff noticed Dave looking at him and said, "That was a long swim. You must be in good shape to go that hard for so long." Dave nodded, "Yeah, I'm just trying to stay in shape for hockey." Jeff pointed at Dave's eyes, "By the look of those eyes you should find a less violent sport." Dave laughed, "Well actually my sport is the same as yours - golf. But I like hockey, too." It was Jeff's turn to laugh, "You crazy Canadians seem to like pain. What caused the black eyes? Stick, puck, or fist?" Dave walked over to Jeff and put out his hand, "Fist, actually. I'm Dave MacDonald, Mr. Sluman. I'm playing in one of the amateur spots in the Open." Jeff smiled, "Please call me Jeff; Mr. Sluman makes me feel old - I'm not ready for the senior tour yet. Dave MacDonald. I've read about you. I read you could be the next up and coming superstar. Your name was mentioned in an article about junior prospects in the September issue of Golf Magazine. Who are you playing with on Thursday?" Dave was shocked that Jeff had heard of him. He was staring at him in a daze when he realized what he had been asked, "Oh, I'm playing with Mike Weir and Bob Estes." Jeff replied, "You'll enjoy Mike. He's a true gentleman. Estes is a good fellow too but pretty quiet on the course - all business you know." Dave could feel the conversation winding down so he said, "Nice to meet you Mr. ... Jeff. Good luck this week." "You too, Dave; I'll see you around the course." Dave nodded and pulled his stuff together before he walked back to his room. He thought about Jeff knowing him and he decided to pick up a Golf Magazine. When he reached his room he told his father about meeting Jeff Sluman and Roger immediately left the room to get the magazine. Dave showered; as he exited the bathroom his father was sitting on a bed reading Golf Magazine with a huge smile on his face. Dave pulled on some boxers and laid down on his bed patiently waiting to get a look at the article. Roger chuckled as he handed Dave the magazine, "They think you may be the next Tiger Woods." Dave stared at his father with a stunned look on his face before he slowly started to read the article. The article started out talking about O'Mahoney and his early dominance of the AJGA. The article talked about O'Mahoney's collegiate year and how his golf future looked very promising. After a thorough explanation of O'Mahoney, the article noted that O'Mahoney received some unexpected competition from a very strong young Canadian golfer. The article described Dave as a very large and intimidating young man who hit the ball farther than any junior since Tiger Woods. The article then did a physical comparison between Dave and Tiger. The article said that Dave was several inches taller than Tiger and twenty or thirty pounds heavier. The article suggested that Dave had potential to dominate golf much the way Tiger currently does. Dave finished the article and looked at his father, "I can't believe they're talking about me in the same sentence as Tiger." Roger looked very seriously at Dave, "Don't let it go to your head. Those are incredible comments but, remember who you are. You are Dave MacDonald the student, the Islander, the teenager. You have dealt very well with your unbelievable successes over the last year. Don't forget who you are - stay grounded." Dave nodded before he rolled over and watched television. He and his dad watched for an hour before Dave passed the remote to his father and pulled a pillow over his head to try to go to sleep. He started to think about Jeff Sluman knowing him and the article. His mind was racing thinking about the possibilities of his future when a small voice in his head screamed, "Dave, stay grounded." He immediately realized how easy it would be to believe all the talk. He had heard similar talk before but now he was hearing it from an actual PGA pro. He then thought about the arrogant British pricks he had met earlier that summer and he again told himself to remember who he was. He thought about the three young juniors he played with on Friday and how much fun they were having with the game. He finally changed his thoughts to hockey and fell asleep wondering how the Missiles were doing. He woke early the next day excited about the upcoming week. He waited for his father to shower before they went to eat in the hotel restaurant. After a large meal Dave and Roger left for the golf course. Dave wanted to spend the morning practicing. They reached the golf course shortly after eight o'clock and Dave went directly to the practice range. He was surprised to see several golfers already there and he recognized a few pros. Several of the pros had instructors with them - giving tips and working with their swings. Dave hit balls for ninety minutes. He started with his wedge and worked his way to his driver. He was very happy with his swing and felt confident. As he was leaving the practice tee he saw Jeff Sluman who walked over to Dave and shook his hand. Dave said hello and introduced Jeff to his father who had been looking quite bored watching Dave hit balls. Dave and Roger talked with Jeff briefly before Jeff went to the practice tee. Dave and Roger went to the practice green and Dave putted for an hour to get a good feel for the green. After putting Dave noticed a sign on a newly erected tent which read "Canadian Open Registration". He pointed out the sign to his father then walked towards the tent. When he entered the tent he saw several tables lined up along the back of the tent and two of the pros he had seen hitting balls on the practice range were standing at the table. Dave walked over to the table and after one of the pros left he stood in front of a man seated behind the table. The man smiled politely and said, "Sorry, son; this is the registration for the Open. Only the pros register here. There is different registration tent for the Pro-Am." Dave just smiled back, "I'm playing in the Open. My name is Dave MacDonald - I'm one of the amateur representatives." The man stood up and reached his hand toward Dave, "Sorry about that, nice to meet you Dave, I'm Randy Simpson from the RCGA. Good luck in the tournament. I understand you got your registration kit at the hotel." Dave nodded so Randy continued, "We normally hand out the registration kits here but we suspected you would want to see the agenda and tournament information as soon as you arrived. You don't have a sponsor so can you please fill out this form and give it back to me. It just asks your preferences for golf balls and other equipment." Dave filled out the forms and thanked Randy for his help. Dave and Roger decided to leave the course for a while to get something for dinner. They found a quiet restaurant and ordered fish and chips. Dave was happy to have a break from the course and they talked about his golf and his hockey. They returned to the course just after noon and Dave again went to the driving range. The driving range was very busy now and there were a mix of pros and amateurs. Each of the major golf club companies had tents set up and were lending clubs to amateurs to try. Dave thought how the pros were probably happy with their own clubs or were required to use their sponsor's equipment. Dave had been hitting balls for about ten minutes when a representative from Callaway walked up to him and asked if he would like to try some new clubs. Dave thanked the man but said he was happy with his own. The man watched Dave hit a few shots and complimented him on a nice swing before he left. Several minutes later the representative from Taylormade walked over to Dave. He looked in Dave's bag and saw the RAC irons and the 580 driver. He grinned and said, "I see you are a Taylormade man. That's great! Those tour blade irons are the best we have and so is the 580 driver. I see from your golf bag you are on the QAI junior golf team. Are you Dave MacDonald?" Dave smiled and nodded yes before the man continued, "I wasn't aware you used Taylormade clubs. Our senior management will be happy to know you play Taylormade. Would you like some hats or shirts to wear during the Open?" Dave immediately thought about possible impacts on his amateur status and collegiate eligibility and gratefully declined. Dave returned to hitting his driver and the Taylormade Rep stayed and watched. After Dave hit a couple big drives the rep complimented, "You do hit it big. Good luck in the Open." After hitting balls for forty-five minutes, Dave heard an announcement asking players to report to the clubhouse. At the clubhouse Dave found the group he was playing with and the three men seemed a little disappointed when they were introduced to Dave. Dave knew they were probably hoping for a high profile pro. Each team was provided with two golf cars but with Roger going with Dave there were five people so Dave put his clubs on a car but walked to the fourth tee with his father. The format of the tournament was a three man scramble for the amateurs while the pros played their own ball. The lower of the two scores on each hole was entered as the team score. In a scramble format each of the three amateurs hit off the tee and then they chose which shot they considered the best, usually the farthest, and all three players hit their second shot from that position. This procedure is followed right through the hole so once the players reached the green they collectively have three putts to sink the ball. The day went well and Dave was happy with his play. The course was not long by PGA standards; less than seven thousand yards but, it was setup very tough and the rough was long at four inches tall. All shots from the rough were very difficult. Dave was happy he shot one under par sixty-nine. His teammates were very pleased they had drawn him when he almost drove the first green and made an easy birdie. Dave added four more birdies and one eagle. His individual score was pushed up by two double bogeys and two bogeys. The team finished fourth in the Pro-Am and the three amateurs each received nice prizes. If Dave had been a pro he would have received $8,000 for his finish but he couldn't accept the money. The tournament supplied a meal after the round followed by the formal presentation ceremonies. The three teammates, now quite happy they had been paired with Dave, thanked Dave and wished him luck in the tournament before they left. During the round, Dave and Roger had spent a lot of time on the course checking out each hole and possible risk areas to avoid. He had clearly found two of the many risk areas and made double bogey each time. Dave was surprised when on the first hole Roger pulled out a small notepad and made several notes about distances. Dave teased him about trying to be a professional caddy and Roger teased back saying he was just trying to keep Dave out of trouble. Dave and Roger returned to the hotel happy with the first day at the Open.
