Tee Off

HANO GRAND RESORT, GOLF COURSE




With the slight sound of a putt, the woman standing at the last hole on the golf course smiles very faintly as she holes out. Reaching down and picking up her golf ball, she begins to walk back towards the clubhouse. As she approaches, a man walks over to her, holding an envelope.

"Kahili? You've got a letter."

Taking the envelope, Kahili rips it open, the current Alolan golf champion pulling out the letter and reading it to herself.

"Dear Kahili. I am writing to you today to inform you of an upcoming event you may be interested in..."

-----------------------------------

The man was huge. Musclebound, over seven feet tall, and with fiery red hair, he would always stand out in a crowd. Right now, though, he was leaning on a sturdy steel railing that still creaked under his frame, looking at the letter that seemed absolutely tiny in his hand.

"A golf tournament, to be held next May on Kuwahawi Island, on a new golf course currently under construction. Not just any golf tournament!"

----------------------------------

Sitting in his chair and petting his cat, a lanky, red-clad man taps on the paper a few times, confirming some lines in particular.

"A golf tournament worthy of the world-class invitees this letter is addressed to, and one that promises to be far more exciting than any other. A golf tournament that encourages tactics, cunning, and planning rather than raw skill."

----------------------------------

Stroking his chin and looking over at some of the devices he had thought up during his last golf playthrough, another man nudges his purple top hat higher and adjusts his glasses as he checks the letter one more time.

"A golf tournament that brings together the greatest players of the world, and pits them against the skills and powers of the Kobbers! Come one, come all, and try your wits against them!"

----------------------------------

Out on a half-built golf course in Kuwahawi, the writer finishes looking over their letter.

"Join us in May of 2018, when the Kuwahawi Open begins. And the winner will receive a fabulous prize! ...Yes, that sounds good enough. It's going to be a long wait, but this should be the most exciting game of golf the world has ever seen!"
