Good game?
Not bad. But too hot for me today.
Yes, I know. Kind of hard to concentrate, isn't it?
Absolutely. Who were you playing with?
Oh, just on my own. I just joined, so I don't really have any partners.
Really? Oh, well, in that case we should play together some time. What's your handicap?
16. Yours?
No kidding! I'm 16, too. We should definitely play together some time. My name's Bob.
Jane. Nice to meet you.
Me too. So, do you like the course?
Yes, it's fine. However, I personally think the fairways between the greens are a bit too long, especially for such a hot climate. Don't they have carts?
Well, they used to, but they got rid of them because of environmental concerns.
Oh, that's good. I guess the caddies were pleased.
Actually, in my opinion, the carts were better because you don't have to tip them.
Yes, but look at it this way, getting rid of the carts probably gives more work to local people, which is a good thing, right?
Possibly, but I still miss them! What bothers me is that the heat makes the caddies'life quite hard. One member's caddy fainted last week!
How awful, poor guy.
Right. Luckily it was on the eighteen hole, quite near the clubhouse, so he didn't have far to carry him.
Oh, my God, you're kidding me! He carried him back?
Yup.
