Just being a good caddie.
Do not tell Dad
by Kaiku
Without a sound, I took the golf bag from my shoulder, placed it on the ground next to me, turned, and began tracing my steps back. I hadn't even given my mom notice. In the middle of the fairway, competing in the city golf championship, stood my mom, dumb struck.
Tracing every step, being 9 years old playing Sherlock, I headed back to the teeing area where mom had entrusted me with her keepsake.
Thank God. There in the longish blades of grass bordering a finely trimmed teeing area, lay what I had been frantically searching for, mom's wedding ring.

I caddied for my mom often. She was a keen competitor. My mom followed me throughout my golf career as well.
