Ah, young love! Such a sweet, innocent interaction between two people still young enough to "play" together; old enough to fall in love.

Delightful, Jim. And now the game of golf begins to spread . . .

Jim, I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my last review, but I think you should include all of your characters at the end and the "time zones" they live in to separate them.

    Your first sentence is right on the mark, Pam. That's exactly how I see it. I'm so glad you are enjoying it.

    Excellent suggestion about showing the characters in each time period. I will start doing that.

It is good to have a passion, and to use that in your writing. I really enjoyed reading your story. It was very interesting and kept me wanting to keep reading to the end. I am looking forward to reading more of your story, and other pieces that you write. I have always wanted to try and play golf, but have never gotten the chance. This story makes me want to really get out there and try it. I appreciate your explanation of the golf terms in your notes. There are very helpful in understanding the game of golf. Your story is very well written, and flows well. Thank you for sharing.

    What a wonderful review, Jacquelyn. Thank you so much. I was a golfer for 60 years until some physical issues made me have to quit playing just a few months ago, but I keep my interest in the game ongoing by writing about it.

Kilian certainly earned some points with Arie by writing her a poem that describes her so favorably and in good meter. She seems very bright and daring. I hope Kilian knows what he's getting into with her. Hopefully, they're in a similar social class.

    She's a little pistol, alright, but also very kind as you will see in a few chapters. They are both in the peasant class, so no worries there.

It's good to have a passion that you can write about it. I must confess I never played golf so I don't really understand the game. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

    Thank you so much, Iza. If you stay with the story, you'll learn all about the game from the very earliest days. Pretty soon, it will start resembling more the game we play today.
