Jimmy's story in paragraph form

Jimmy, a 16 year old, is on the school's golf team and is preparing for the upcoming tournament. Little does he know, his secret crush Sally, is on the course too. Jimmy is so distracted by her good looks that he keeps loosing his focus on the game. Her being this close makes him nervous. He tries to be all manly by shoing off how well he can play. In doing this he accidently hits her with the "ball" (which is actually a commet). She became really mad and almost started to yell at him until she realized that he was kind of cute. Instead she decided to have a compition, so they shook on it and continued their practice. The next day at the tournament it came down to the last "hole". Jimmy teed off and landed on the rings of Jupiter. Sally was next to go and made a "hole in one", which won the match. Sally was all excited to not only win the match, but the bet as well. In good sportsmanship, Jimmy congratulated Sally who devoloped a crush on him as well.
