It had originally thought the goal was to hit the two small creatures in the distance. They appeared to be identical to the three creatures whom he had joined in the game.
First approximation: separated by some distance, one attempts to down the group ahead of one using one of many metal-tipped sticks (called ‘clubs’) to ‘drive’ a small, hard ball. Those behind would, presumably, be attempting to hit one. So, one dodged and drove.
Rated PG for frequent golf horror
Ok, I’m confused. Maybe this one makes more sense on paper, but it’s difficult to follow as a podcast.
I agree with Brave Space Monkey.
I hate fundamentalist with legislative powers, rodents of unusual size, mimes, and last but not least, golf. But I loved this story.
Clever story, but not that clever.
Even the worst day of golf is better than a good day without golf…
Golf is a good alien first contact story spoiled.
