Charles took a driver out of his bag. He put a tee in the cool ground. " John, I'm not sure how much more I can take". He put a golf ball on the tee. " Katie cries every night".

The group ahead walked off the green. Charles hit the ball down the left side of the fairway.

" Your faith is being tested". John Ennis hit his ball down the right side of the fairway. " God will take care of the situation".

Charles found his ball and chipped it onto the green.

John hit his ball onto the green. " Oh, I ran into your old business partner yesterday".

Charles got his putter and walked onto the green. " My old business partner?".

John walked onto the green with his putter. " Remember Maurice Buckley".

Bad memories began to enter Charles's mind. He putted out. " Where did you see him?".

" When I was in Big Springs for a meeting". He putted. " Do you remember the first two years of your career?".

As he walked back to the cart, the painful breakup with his first business partner began to plague his brain.

" I don't want to think about that time in my life". John got in the cart and they went to the next tee. " I want to think about happy memories".
