OCC: Okay so I am going to do a couple of short posts on route to the holodeck explaining the rules of the game. I am hoping that we can have a bit of fun and maybe poke fun at our characters. Not everyone is amazing at everything and people do slip and fall and totally wipe out at times. So as you read this and if you decide to play have fun. To make it fair try to have your character do something amazing and then something not so amazing. ;). So as we post you will see that you can sabotage the other posters so the rule will be if you dork with another player then be gracious and let someone dork with you. This site is about having fun so I hope you will in this post.This is the link to the golf course we are using. https://www.innisbrookgolfresort.com/golf/copperhead-course

Kelly adjusted her sun visor and looked through the mirror at Ian on the other side of their quarters also getting ready. Pursing her lips she decided to press the conversation one more time. “Babe are you sure you want to do this,” Kelly said pulling her ponytail tighter as she spoke. “I mean I did blow out my ACL at the Academy Championship, broke my femur in a friendly game with Dante, Dante sprained his wrist, I broke the XO’s nose of the USS Woebgone,” Kelly rattled off her list of injuries that she incurred and others while playing the game. “There is no shame in sitting it out. The game is rough.”
“Sweetie, I have fought a feral pack of Niren Raptors once, I am sure I can handle you and your game. Besides I love this spirit in you, fire… piss and vinegar. It’s what I like to see love.” he said with a wink as he began to pull his shirt over him.
“Fine fine but don’t say I didn’t warn you and I am not getting you ice packs every ten minutes when we get back because you got hurt,” Kelly warned shouldering her clubs on one arm. As they walked down the hall she decided to go over the rules one last time. She did not want her partner at a disadvantage during the game.
As she arrived at the holodeck Kelly was happy that they were the first to arrive. “Okay so let’s go over the rules,” Kelly said to Ian setting her clubs down. “Computer bring up the Rules for Altered Golf,” she requested.
=/\= Rules for Altered Golf =/\= the computer replied as one of the walls in the holodeck morphed into a set of rules.
Each of the 18 holes of golf has a set four-minute playing duration. The ball must be in the hole at the end of the four minutes. If the ball is not in the hole the player will receive a penalty time of three minutes added to their score for each minute they go over the four-minute time frame.
Each player is allowed to tee off before another player retaliates on them. The initial swing must be complete and the ball must leave the tee before another player can steal the other opponent’s ball or interfere with another player’s game in any fashion. If someone retaliates against another player or interferes with the ball before it has left the tee that player will be disqualified.
Retaliation includes hitting a player with a golf club, punching/kicking/or tripping another player, sending another player’s ball off in any direction if it is encountered on the green, throwing objects at another player or using indigenous wildlife to impair another player’s game.
The ball must be played where it lies unless it is in water more than two feet deep or has gone over a cliff. There are no other exceptions to not playing the ball where it lies.
All players must have a partner. After the initial tee off pairs will use the best ball as the only golf ball they are playing with. Partners are able to defend their partners on all swings to move the ball to the hole. All players are able to retaliate against other players while swinging as long as it is not the initial tee off of every hole.
Players are allowed to wear knee or elbow pads if they desire. All players must be in a collared shirt. Tank tops or collarless shirts are not permitted. Jeans and gym shorts are not permitted on the course but any other trouser or shorts are allowed.
Kelly pulled out a pair of knee pads from her golf bag and adjusted them as Ian read the rules to the game. “So you think you got this cowboy,” she asked looking around at the famous Palm Harbor Resort’s Copperhead course. It was a beautiful course and part of Kelly missed playing on real courses. The breeze, humidity, temperature…everything was real except it wasn’t. “If you don’t think you can run wth the big dogs you can be my caddy,” she teased pulling out a club and using it as a bar to stretch out her arms and torso.

“Oh… you’re cute… did you think that all up by yourself. Out there I am not a caddy bitch, though… bend over lemme see that ass and tell you if you can be one.” he said with a wink as he smirked at him, knowing the comment would get her riled up.
