tour earnings if I miss

and I'll use the five iron.

- Oh, this is like

the perfect storm?

- Come on, you're

a gambling man.

What, are you afraid of me?

- Afraid of you?

You're on.

You don't mind if I just

finish my birdie, do you?

- Be my guest.

- My par.

All yours, Princess.

I hope for nothing.

I fear nothing.

I am free.

- Sh*t.

Guys.

Guys, hold on.

"A golf star is born"

- good morning, hotshot.

Good morning!

- Good morning!

- Is she okay with you?

- Yeah, of course.

Actually, I wanted to

talk to you anyway,

might be my only chance

before all your admirers

start crowding in.

You can keep that.

- That's okay, my father

bought about 25 this morning.

- I bet he did.

- What do you want

to talk about?

- Well.

It's just that...

It's time for me to leave.

I gotta go back out on tour.

- When?

- Tomorrow.

Love, do you want

a lemonade or something?

Stella.

- What happened?

- My suspension got lifted.

I told her it was

time for me to leave.

- Okay.

- Stella.

- She'll be fine.

She just needs more time.

- I didn't mean to upset

her, I feel really terrible.

I just thought it'd be best

if I told her the news myself.

- Of course it was, Zoe.

You had to be the

one to tell her.

You see, for Stella,

when people leave,

she can't help but think

it's going to be forever.

- But it's not gonna be forever.

I plan to come back

a lot more often.

- It's only fair that

you follow your dream,

not just for yourself,

but for others you inspire.

Like Stella.

- Look, I don't know

how to explain it,

but the game means

everything to me.

But I'll miss everything.

- She'll miss you.

I'm gonna miss you.

- Here, this is

for your journey.

As you know, when we make bread,

we don't think of anything else,

the bread is all that exists,

it is also the same

with golf, is it true?

- Yes, Pappous, it's true.

It's the soul of the game.

- Okay, you two.

It's time to go.

Have a good trip!

Bye!

Take care, Zoe!

Don't forget us.

Come back soon!

Have a safe trip!

- Could you pull over

for a second, please?

Just right up here.

Could you pop the trunk, please?

When friends are

about to be separated,

it's a golf custom

that they make a wish

and hit balls at the same time,

so they cross each other in

the sky and Grant our wishes.

- It grants wishes?

- That's what my

father always said.

- When will you be back?

- As soon as the

tour season's over,

so no more skipping school

like you did today, okay?

- Okay.

- Otherwise your dad's

not gonna let you

help me run my next

clinic and I need you.

- Okay, I promise.

- Remember when you asked me

what my favorite course was?

- Yes, you said it

was always changing.

- Not anymore.

- One day, we will

never be separated.

- How is that?

- When I turn pro,

you can be my caddie.

- Ah, I see, you

better pay me well.

- Half of what I get and

I will never fire you.

- Caddie for life, huh?

- Well, we'll be like partners

except I will get

all the trophies.

- Partners.

I like that.

Okay, ready?

Now, close your eyes.
