"I have played before" she cringed at the memory of the time when she was about seven and they went to go play Put-Put/Adventure golf/mini-golf with their muggle cousins their grandparents coming with. An eager girl she posing for picture swung her putt back and.. unbeknown to her her grrandfather was right behind her... her put hit him in his temple... she remembered the sight of the grrey bruise which was gold ball size on her grandfather's head.. worst of all was the guilt.
"Sure, I would love to show you how. First of all you have this stick, called a put" she wielded the stick before her friend. "we use this to move the ball," she said showing the little ball. "the aim is to hit the ball with the stick from the tee" she pointed to the little tee "to the hole in the least number of shots". She hoped it was clear... She did not quite agree with the rule about no thitting the ball hard - that was how she played, especially when you had to hit the ball up a steep incline. "Should we each have turns playing, like one-one etc. or should one girl go, and the other girl go only after the other girl has sunk her ball in the hole?"
Was it just her or did Sarah feel uncomfortable at the memory of her previous golf experiences? Either way, Ari didn't have time to ask before the girl started presenting her the rules of the game and she focused entirely on that.
'A put? As in to put?' That sounded weird. But she would remember it.
After hearing the rest of the explanation, the fifth year nodded.
'Doesn't seem very complicated.' But maybe she was wrong.
'Stick hits ball from the tee into a hole. Got it.' Was there anything else?
'I'd rather we each took turns, if you don't mind. You can go first, to show me how it's done.' The fifth year replied.
'So is this a Muggle game or am I totally weird for not having played it before?' the older Gryffindor wondered.
