10 Years From Now

It’s a Sunday, 11:00 am, tee time, and my brother and I are paired up with another gentleman to make a 3 person group. I introduce myself “Hi my names Derek.” The man looks at me and in a deep raspy voice, he says “Mike nice to meet you.” It sounded like he was a smoker, I noticed he had R32 irons with a Scotty Cameron putter that looks like its straight from the factory. Mike didn’t say much at first, he walked over next to the putting green and started taking practice swings while we waited for the group in front of us to finish up the first hole. Now it was out turn to tee off, I turned to mike and said, “Go ahead man, show us how it’s done.” “alright, but I’m not very good” he said back. I’m thinking in the back of my head, yea right I’ve heard this one before, another modest pro. This guy is wearing some fresh ass Nikes with an Under Armour golf shirt, Dockers, and has his black hair slicked back, dude is about to murder this ball. I reply back to him “don’t worry me and Nick aren’t good either” just to make him feel more comfortable. Mike walked over to the tee box and stuck his tee into the ground, he put his driver straight out in front of him with his arms extended, lining it up with the flag. I turn to my brother, “What are the chances of this guy making the green?” he turns to me, shaking his head and says “come on Derek, its 310 out, not a chance.” Mike pulls his club back and swings, he topped it, and it’s a worm burner about 100 yards down the middle of the fairway. “God dammit” he slams his club against the ground, I go next and slice it left, Nick cranks it 275 down the middle of the fairway. We all get in the cart and my brother hands me a bud light, to my surprise mike pulls a rolling rock out of his bag. “Where are you from” I ask him “I live in L.A but I grew up in new Hampshire” “No shit” I say, “we did too, where in New Hampshire?”  Manchester, I went to Memorial High School.” “Damn I went to West, what a small world” Nick said. “What brought you out to Vegas?” I ask him, he told us he was here on business. Mike looked at me and took a big swig of his beer and finished his first brew of the day, he said “I’m an inventor, have you here’d of the Holocomputer” “You invented that!?” I was very impressed that was cutting edge technology, the Holocomputer is a computer that looks like a flash drive and projects a hologram of a keyboard and screen that are touch sensitive where your finger is the mouse. At this point I’m pretty excited to be drinking beers, golfing, and shooting the shit with the inventor of the Holocomputer. We finish all 18 at about 2:30 I shot a 95 my brother shot an 80 and Mike, well Mike stopped keeping score after the 4^th hole.  The man just loves to golf witch I respected, after all it is the hardest sport in the world. We walk over to the clubhouse, Mike says “give me a call if you boys are ever in L.A” he hands us his business card and gets in a Lincoln town car. Nick and I hop in a cab, we get in our room “Where are the girls?” nick said “I don’t know but who cares, we’re in Vegas bro, let’s go chill by the pool and enjoy the rest of the day.  We get down to the pool and to no surprise both of our wives were down there, they were with another lady who looked older probably about mid to late 30’s. “this is Star, we met her shopping today and were going to go out to dinner with her and her husband tonight” my wife said. I’m thinking oh great I wanted to hit the casino with nick tonight and the girls will want to go see Circus Ole or some shit. “I’m Derek, Jen’s wife, nice too meet you” I shake her hand. Star is wearing a black g string bottom with a white top, she definitely has implants and has bleach blonde hair. Her belly button is pierced and has a pretty good body for her age, she’s not one of those older people that shouldn’t be wearing a bikini, she could pull it off. After lying out by the pool we go back to our room, turns out Star and her husband are also staying at the Palms. Jen and I go back up to our room to get ready, she says, “dress nice baby wear that suit with the black and green tie, I put it out on the bed” “ok honey” I replied, “why don’t you wear that sexy little white dress u bought yesterday” she walks out of the bathroom and she already has I on. “you didn’t have to tell me I can read your mind” she says smiling at me as she runs her hand through her hair. “Its 7:00 Nick and Sarah should be here, were meeting Star and her husband at Nove Italliano at 7:15” “hang on ill call Ni….” I’m interrupted by a knock on the door. We all take the elevator down to the restaurant, were here first, I go to the bathroom with my brother to watch my hands. The restaurant was real nice with marble sinks, I walk out of the bathroom and am shocked to see Star and her husband. I take a seat and say “hey mike, long time no see.”
