25 Elle Expressions | Day 3

Elle feels Rage

She goes on about it enough, but in case you didn't already know, Elle is Santa now! Nicholas, the former Santa, is retired and spends most of his days at home. On some occasions however he does like to go out and play golf like he used to, with his best friend Frosty. Nicholas and Frosty used to play golf alone with a caddy each but this time Nicholas had the idea to bring the current Santa into their game. Elle was given her invitation and it took a bit of convincing from Eldon, as well he Elle's eagerness to please Nicholas, to get her to accept the invite.

Elle had been to one of these golf games before and she did not enjoy her experience. This time however she would be playing the game, so maybe there was some enjoyment that she had been missing while carrying golf clubs around. When it came to playing the game, Elle found that her unmatched enthusiasm would be her greatest flaw in this game. She took a swing at the ball and struck it first time, but it went beyond the first hole!

'I don't think the driver was necessary for this hole!' Frosty suggested after Elle had taken her shot. On the second hole, Elle didn't use the driver. She didn't know what she was using, all the golf clubs looked too similar to be of any difference! Despite using a different club, Elle's shot was still quite powerful and enough to send the ball off course!

'Maybe don't hit the ball so hard next time.' Nicholas advised. While the advice was all in good faith, Elle was starting to get annoyed.

Several holes later, Elle had already decided this wasn't the sport for her, even playing it herself was boring! Nicholas had been keeping scores and Elle was losing by a mile, she never seemed to be using the right club or hitting the ball the right way and the wind wasn't helping much either.

By the time they'd reached the thirteenth hole, Elle finally snapped. It looked like she was going to make a good shot for the first time but the wind interfered and her ball rolled just an inch away from the hole. Elle threw her club into the air and tugged at her hat. Frosty was amazed at the show of bad luck while Nicholas was surprised at Elle's outburst.

Surprisingly, Elle continued to play the game afterwards and finished it; she was much calmer afterwards but it was quite clear inviting Elle to any golf games in future would be a bad idea!
