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 with 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.
Captain Kelly Shultz
“Oh… you’re cute… did you think that all up by yourself. Out there I am not a caddy witch, 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.
Bordeaux, Yeoman/Diplomat
Kelly stopped and looked at him. Their competitive streak was insane. “Honey, I am not being an ass. Simply a realist. You are going to go down like a little girl who dropped her ice cream and I am going to be the one saving your butt. Maybe we should not be partners,” she said crossing her arms. “That way I can knock some sense into you.” She let her eyes drift to the door. If someone else didn’t arrive soon, Kelly would tee off just to whack Ian with her club.
Captain Kelly Shultz
“You know, violence is often your answer I am noticing… we might need to bring that up with the counselor. I should schedule you that, maybe twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday?” he asked, knowing how much she truly would loathe such a venture.
Just then River walked in she was wearing a a blue shirt and black trousers it wasn’t much. However River didn’t really have a lot of casual clothes so she had just thrown on whatever she had. she had gone over the rules quickly and the idea of retaliation put a malicious glint in her eyes. She might be good at golf but she was very good at retaliation. As she walked River quickly twirled a golf club in her hand. She saw the captain and walked over to her. she didn’t know the other officer but she knew his name was Ian and he and the captain where an item.
“River Styxx reporting as requested” she said it seemed River only had to modes of talking regulation and slightly less regulation.
Lieut Styxx (Marine)
Leaning over to Kelly Ian whispered softly in her ear. “You didn’t make this mandatory did you? What is GI Jane doing?” he said softly, making sure only Kelly could hear before he straightened back up smiling softly at the Lieutenant.
River raised an eyebrow “If you’re going to talk about me make it less obvious. You may have spoken to quietly for me to hear but your actions speak volumes. Mr Bordeaux” She said simply.
The doors slid open and Mardusk arrived. And by arrived… he arrived. Decked out from head to toe, the giant green Orion wore black leather golf shoes (were the spikes a bit longer than regulation?), blue and white checkered knee length trousers with white socks with green alligators on them that covered his lower legs to the base of the massive knee pads separating them from the pants, a bright yellow and purple checkered shirt (with white collar), white leather golf gloves with knuckle reinforcements and red skull and cross-bone embroidery, and a Scottish tam on his head - complete with multicolored pom-pom on top. Hanging from his shoulder was a golf bag with a complete set of clubs - irons… woods… putter… oak… wedges…
Pausing to look each of the three previous arrivals up and down, he said “You have no sense of style.”
Mardusk, CoS
“I don’t care much for fashion as long as I have my Armour, my fatigues and my uniform. I’m fine” River said looking at the Chief of security. He seemed to cut an intimidating figure, but that didn’t mean a whole lot
“Can’t wear armor everywhere, chica. But if that what keeps you comfy, so be it. I guess I won’t have to worry about you stealing my seat next to the Runway on Magellai VII during Fashion Week, will I?” Mardusk replied dryly.
“Don’t call me chica.” River said plainly
“Yes… style, and that’s what this is?” Ian asked as he arched an eyebrow at Mardusk. “I will stick with being unfashionable I guess… can’t let myself outshine you big guy.”
Bordeaux, Yeoman/Diplomat
“As if that was possible.” Mardusk replied with a grin.
Kelly stopped and looked at the group before her. While Altered Golf was a bit more feisty than regular golf it did have standard. “Mardusk a blind man could not miss your outfit. Ian you look the part but I have seen your backswing. River.....,” Kelly said and then paused. Kelly wasn’t sure what to comment on yet. She didn’t know the officer enough yet to rib but she liked her enough to want to make the woman feel at home on the command staff.
Captain Kelly Shultz
“A blind man could and should. High fashion is not just for seeing people. It is for all.” Mardusk said surprisingly agile spin to showcase his outfit.
Mardusk, CoS and King of the Runway
“It’s also good for helping snipers pick you out” River replied dryly “Well this should be interesting, we’ll just have to see how things goo” she added after a short pause.
Lieut Styxx (Marine)
Mardusk looked at the Marine and said “You need to relax, lady. You are wound tighter than Vulcan wedding planner.”
Mardusk, CoS
“It kept me alive on my last assignment. Even when many of my colleagues fell. So i’ll stick with it. However you never know i might unwind eventually. Miracles can happen. Although it would take a rather big miracle.” River said. she wasn’t sure what to make of the senior staff at the moment. it was hard for her to grasp relaxing it had been s long since had done it that she had forgotten how to.
