There's Always Golf

"There's Always Golf" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, which first appeared in the United Kingdom in the March 1936 issue of the Strand, and in the United States in the April 1936 edition of Redbook, under the title "Not Out of Distance". It was included in the UK collection Lord Emsworth and Others, (1937), and in the U.S. edition of Young Men in Spats (1936). It is a golf story, narrated by the Oldest Member.

Plot

Clarice Fitch was a force to be reckoned with, recalls the Oldest Member, and weedy, bespectacled accountant Ernest Plinlimmon is powerfully affected by the impact of her personality. But like hundreds of others, he escapes her notice, until he encounters her on the eighteenth fairway, needing a four to win the Medals Competition. But she is not playing—she is tying her shoelace. When a forceful woman comes between a man and a coveted tournament medal, she sees the true depths of his soul.
