Chapter 132: Chapter 95: A Hole in One_2

"It seems like you aren’t very familiar with golf, young man," Boss Zhou said with a smile.

"You’ll get used to it if you play," Li Xiu replied.

"Okay, let you take the first shot then." Boss Zhou felt the young man was somewhat conceited and seemed a bit unhappy.

Li Xiu didn’t refuse either, standing on the tee, gripping the club, and posed for the shot.

He had watched others’ swing posture just now and had practiced as well. To him, getting a hole-in-one from this distance wasn’t a problem.

Watching Li Xiu, Boss Zhou smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Young man, don’t underestimate golf; there’s lots of knowledge in it. You’ve even chosen the wrong club and still want to play against me? Do you really think old folks are easy to bully?"

While Boss Zhou was contemplating, Li Xiu twisted his waist and swung his arms, already sending the ball flying.

Seeing the ball soaring into the sky, Boss Zhou was a bit surprised. The shot was extremely long, the curve wasn’t bad, and the direction seemed straight.

Boss Zhou hurriedly picked up the binoculars, staring at the direction of the golf ball.

To his astonishment, the ball was actually headed towards the green’s golf hole. However, it looked a bit high, likely to miss the hole.

In the next second, Boss Zhou’s eyes widened.

The ball landed on the flagpole at the lip of the hole, was deflected by the flag, and fell right into the hole.

"Is this beginner’s luck?" Boss Zhou’s expression was somewhat peculiar, but he still believed it was just Li Xiu’s luck.

"Hole-in-one, beautiful," Chu Jun shouted excitedly.

"Ha-ha, beginners’ luck is indeed good; the flag did you a big favor," Boss Zhou commented.

Next was Boss Zhou’s turn. He took a deep breath, aimed carefully at the green, hoping for a hole-in-one as well.

Unfortunately, the heavens did not favor him; though the ball landed on the green, it didn’t reach the hole.

Mr. Yu and Chu Jun were even further off, Chu Jun’s shot missed the direction entirely.

They left the tee and continued playing golf.

Boss Zhou took only two shots on this standard par-four hole, initially a score worth celebrating. Yet, with Li Xiu’s hole-in-one earlier, Boss Zhou couldn’t be pleased.

For the second shot, Boss Zhou still let Li Xiu go first. He and Mr. Yu sat chatting on the bench behind.

"Young people are too impatient. The wind is strong now, and they don’t even think to avoid it. Like a calf unafraid of tigers!" Boss Zhou said, squinting at the waving flag.

"Youngsters can’t be as patient as old-timers like you, Boss Zhou. They still have much to learn," Mr. Yu said, following Boss Zhou’s lead.

"It’s not up to me to teach; the world will give them a lesson first." Boss Zhou watched Li Xiu hit the ball into the wind, squinting more and more.

Unlike sports like soccer or basketball, golf is more susceptible to environmental influence. Though the wind doesn’t seem strong, once the ball is in the air for long flights, it gets significantly affected and deviates from the target.

Li Xiu’s shot drifted widely in the air as expected.

Initially, Boss Zhou was laughing, but as the ball drifted farther and then began to descend, his smile gradually faded.

The ball was originally way off, but influenced by the wind, it gradually neared the hole’s position, seemingly about to land in.

Boss Zhou suddenly stood up, took the binoculars to watch, catching the moment the ball entered the hole.

"Young man, your luck is really something," Boss Zhou said, forcing a smile.

"Luck is part of strength too," Li Xiu said calmly, not giving Boss Zhou any face.

Boss Zhou coughed lightly, "You rest for a while first; we’ll head to the next hole together after we’re done. The next hole is a five-par, not easy."

Turning his face away, Boss Zhou’s smile vanished immediately, grumbling, "Today’s youngsters really aren’t lovable, not a bit humble."

This hole was a par-three, and Boss Zhou scored a good two strokes, still unable to feel happy.

At the third hole, Boss Zhou sat leisurely, still thinking, "I don’t believe your luck can be so good, even if it’s enough, this hole covers 500 yards. I don’t believe you can rely on luck to make another hole-in-one. If you do, I’ll eat my club."

"Boss Zhou, what makes you so happy?" Mr. Yu asked, puzzled after seeing Boss Zhou smiling.

"I’m thinking, this young man is quite talented, just has a bad temper. If he could change it, he might become an excellent golf player, perhaps useful for us," Boss Zhou said.

"I think he’s doing well now. If possible, I’d like to talk to him later," Mr. Yu said.

"No way, you want him to participate in trials? Just based on those two shots, which were pure luck..." Boss Zhou said, surprised, "Aren’t you afraid he’ll waste the hard-earned opportunity?"

"I don’t think it was luck; this young man is impressive," Mr. Yu replied seriously.

"Impressive how? You don’t understand golf. Those two shots were luck. Who can specifically aim for those hole-in-ones? I tell you, if he gets another hole-in-one, I’ll eat my club," Boss Zhou accidentally blurted out his inner thought.
