Movie Scene

This was it; the day that will make or break the next month of my life. I could feel the stare of a hundred eyes watching me intently as I tried with all my might to not let my hands shake and my nerves show through. As I went to tee up on the first hole, I prayed hard to the golf gods to make my golf ball go straight and long. I made my swing like I've done a thousand times before and my watched the little white ball soar through the sky and finally land on the green grass where I had hoped it would. Only after the ball landed did I realize that I had been holding my breath and I could finally breathe again. A smile of relief spread over my face and I felt my coach's congratulatory arm sung around my shoulder. Now, all I had to do was repeat that 80 more times.
