Ross and Claude had their yearly golf outing this coming Saturday. Where Ross decided if the boys wanted to go with them and learn to play. But to his dismay, he found out that neither Jon nor Todd liked golf. But, both did tell him that both of their sisters loved the game. So he went and searched for Jenny and Carrie. He found both in the den actually watching one of his golfing videos. He asked both if they loved golf and wanted to learn how to play, to which both loved the idea.
Both also telling him that they would love to learn the game. And hopefully they could turn out to become the next Nancy Lopez. To this he laughed, and told them all he could do was teach them some basics, that if they wanted to play like that they would have to be taught professionally. They said they would love to go and learn all they could from him and Claude. So he got both to come with him, where he was going to take Jenny and Carrie out to a golf shop to get both a set of clubs, as well as golfing attire and shoes.
At the store he was talking to the salesman that he dealt with only, explaining just what his ladies needed. So, the guy measured Jenny and Carrie, to see which length of shafts they would need. Then he asked Ross which brand of clubs they wanted. He said Wilson, and he also got both a Titleist putter and chipping wedges. With that done, he led the ladies over to where the women's apparel was, where he told the woman what he wanted for his ladies. So she asked Jenny and Carrie which style they usually wore at home, pants or skirts, tank tops or polo.
"We both wear skirts and regular shirts. But we do like tank tops some times." So she got both measured and led both over to where their sizes were, and stood back and let Jenny and Carrie pick what suited them. When they had some picked out, they went to the dressing room to see what each outfit would look like on them. The ladies ended up getting two skirts and one polo and a tank top, one in pink and the other in blue. Then lastly they got their shoes. Two hours after they had all their golf gear, both Jenny and Carrie were ready to learn.
For the next couple of months, Katherine had done well teaching Leslie, Jenny and Carrie the art of jewelry making. Actually they all surprised her, as fast as each picked it up. As both Ross and Claude had also done very well in teaching Jenny and Carrie how to play the great game of golf. Once they had gone above his teaching, Ross hired a great coach, who was a former pro to pick up where he left off. In just the first month James had been teaching them, both ladies had gotten very good at the game. Carrie could hit her tee shot about 235 yards, and Jenny was getting a little over 225 on hers. But what Jenny was becoming great at was her mid and scoring irons. She had already had people calling her 'pin seeker'. Because right now she was very good at them, and if she kept up the training, she would be deadly. Jenny had already dropped a few balls in from between 120-130 years away. She could also hit the flagstick or get within 2 feet of it on 6 out of 10 attempts. Carrie wasn't that sharp yet, but with more training, she would be just like Jenny. James also had both working on their strength, which would increase their club head speed and add more distance.
By June, both jenny and Carrie had been practicing all they could with James. They signed up for their clubs championship, on that day those two ladies made themselves known. In their very first event, they did very well, for the two rounds they played in it; Jenny had a two day score of 164, which were 20 over par. Carrie ended with a score of 171 which was 27 over. They didn't make the cut, but everyone there was very happy for the ladies.
On July 3rd, the 4 ladies had just finished all the jewelry orders, and all were now ready to be delivered to the stores. Both Katherine and Leslie took off to deliver it all, and get the checks for each order. Katherine, as she was in her bank, making out the deposit slips out, she almost fainted when she got the grand total. She had made $162,844.00 for the jewelry. So she deposited $127,844.00 into her account and went over to see the lady who handled new accounts. Where she got Jenny and Carrie their own accounts opened up with $10,000.00 each. Then she got a cashier's check for $15,000.00 for Leslie. When they got home, and were resting on the couch, she took out the girl's account books.
"Here ladies these are for you." She said handing of her ladies each their account books.
"What are they mom?" They asked.
"They are your account books; you both now have savings accounts at the bank."
"Good lord mom! Why $10,000.00? What's that for?'
"Dears those are for both of you. It is for all your help with all the jewelry." Both tried to protest, saying they didn't need it, but they knew she did. Also telling Katherine, that all their helping was too much fun to get paid for. To this, Katherine smiled and told them she was glad they had fun, and told each that that was what a good job should be like. And not to worry, that she would get more after they sold. Then she opened her purse and handed Leslie her check.
"Here sis, this is yours."
"Oh no, I don't need it but you will sis."
"Now don't tell me I'm going to have trouble with my own sister. Dear this is what I want to do, and you earned it and deserve it too. Now please take it, and no more disagreements."
"Alright sis, if you insist." Leslie said and put it in her purse.
By this time both Katherine and Leslie were getting very big, both were now 5 and half months into their pregnancies. Both ladies now stayed with Katherine and Leslie to help take care of them.
"As you all know, I told each place that we wouldn't begin to make jewelry again until after we both give birth. So, ladies, would you both like to try diving? Remember that letter you both brought home?"
"Yes we both love to."
"Good now I'll call Ann Cooper for you both, to see if she has time or not to still coach you ladies." So Katherine reached over and called Mill Valley Country Club, and asked to speak with Ann. She waited while they paged Ann for her.
"Hello this is Ann Cooper, how may I help you?' Katherine introduced herself and explained what she was calling about. Ann told her that yes; she would love to coach Jenny and Carrie, and get them ready for the competition.
"When would you want to start?" Katherine asked.
"We can start tonight if that's alright with you. Say from 7 till 10?"
"That's fine. We'll see you then, and they hung up. Then she told everything to Jenny and Carrie, where both women could tell they each were very happy over this.
"Well ladies let's let Les measure you and get your right sizes, and then we'll go to Health's and get you some swimsuits." Katherine told Jenny and Carrie as Leslie reached into a drawer and got out her tape. After she was through, they all headed for Health's.
Once there both Jenny and Carrie took their time looking at all the different styles and colors, to see which suited their moods and also looked the best on them. Both ended up choosing white over pink bikinis and one pieces. They also found the same colors in towels and shoulder bags. After they purchased the items, they all headed back home, for dinner and for the ladies to get ready for their first diving practice.
When they entered the house, all of the guys were in the den; they got up and greeted the womenfolk. Then both Ross and Claude asked where they had been.
"We went to Health's to get our divers some suits, towels and bags."
"Our divers?' Ross questioned.
