Chapter 687 - 327: You Still Dare Say You Can’t Play Golf? (2)
Even Du Taoming’s caddie expressed her gratitude to Jiang Tao with a face full of compliments.
This tip of over 3,000 was equivalent to nearly half a month’s salary for them!
The tip was an unexpected windfall for the two of them as well.
A single stroke costing more than 6,000 yuan just wiped out Jiang Tao’s entire previous month’s salary.
No wonder they say golf is a sport for the rich.
Regular folks can’t handle playing like this.
"Xiao Jiang really is a straightforward guy! But you should share some of that luck."
"Young lady, after taking the tip, don’t forget to report to the front desk later."
Du Taoming chuckled as he instructed Jiang Tao’s caddie.
"Report what?"
Jiang Tao looked at Old Du with a face full of confusion.
Du Taoming smiled and explained:
"Every golf course has a ’Hole-in-One Commemoration Board.’ You scored a hole-in-one today, so your name and date will be recorded. It’s a memorable honor!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tao just shook his head with a smile, not taking it seriously.
Yet in his heart, he thought: Hit a ball, go in a hole, and not only do I have to give out tips and get on a list?
The rules of these rich folks are really flashy; hitting a good ball is quite expensive.
The group walked and talked,
Du Taoming used three strokes to get his ball into the first hole, one stroke less than the standard four, showing stable performance.
Both of them finished the first hole, and after a short rest, they moved to the second tee.
Du Taoming was still pondering Jiang Tao’s extraordinary luck earlier and jokingly said:
"Younger Brother Jiang, how about another shot, let me see your ’luck’ again!"
"Hahaha, sure, I’ll go first this time."
Jiang Tao did not decline and stepped onto the tee again.
According to the rules Du Taoming just explained, the player with the fewer strokes from before hits first.
Earlier, he had a hole-in-one, and Du Taoming took three strokes, so this second ball should be him to hit.
The difficulty of the second hole seemed a bit higher than the first.
On the left side of the fairway was a bunker, and on the right was a rough area.
Of course, this wasn’t negligence on the part of the golf course but intentional, a common obstacle in golf tournaments.
Du Taoming and the two caddies all held their breath watching Jiang Tao.
Everyone was thinking, this time Jiang Tao surely wouldn’t have the same luck as the first time.
Luck is called luck because it’s rare and uncommon.
Jiang Tao’s face was still relaxed.
After all, this was just a friendly match between him and Old Du, with nothing at stake.
He didn’t even observe the course as carefully as others, just casually glanced in the direction of the hole before swinging the club again!
With the strong constitution enhancing him,
his swing was still simple, swift, and full of explosive power!
"Crack!"
Another crisp and thrilling sound resounded!
The white ball shot out again with a low trajectory seemingly defying physics!
Precisely avoiding the bunker and ignoring the lure of the rough, it struck the green like a laser-guided projectile.
Then, the ball merrily rolled toward the hole.
Under the almost-breathless gaze of Du Taoming and the caddies,
"Thud," the white ball once again dropped into the cup!
The second hole, another hole-in-one!
Twice in a row!
"My goodness!!"
Du Taoming was utterly stunned!
The two caddies were also slack-jawed!
Did it go in again?
Another Hole-in-One!
How is this possible?!
Those who knew recognized this as the Red Pine Golf Course, just an ordinary course in Beijing.
Those who didn’t might think it was the site of the United States Golf Masters!
Once could be attributed to luck, to coincidence, to a god-dice being tossed in his favor.
But twice in a row?
Two consecutive holes-in-one on a par-four hole?
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe it when told!
"Xiao Jiang, you still claim you’ve never played golf before?"
"Without ten, twenty years of experience, how could you hit two holes-in-one consecutively!"
Du Taoming turned to look at Jiang Tao, finding it hard to believe he’d never played golf before!
"Haha, just good luck, a coincidence, got the feel today..."
Jiang Tao gave a helpless smile, inwardly thinking, this isn’t about luck at all!
It’s terrible fortune, isn’t it!
Another hole-in-one meant giving out another tip to the caddies, losing over 6,000 yuan again!
After all, it was 6,666 the first time; it couldn’t be less this time, or he’d seem stingy.
Good luck, a coincidence, good feel?
Du Taoming’s mouth twitched.
To himself, he ranted: What kind of feel is this!
God must be guiding your hand in playing!
After the shock passed, the two caddies exchanged glances and saw pure joy in each other’s eyes!
That President Jiang scored again!
And with that, don’t they have another tip coming?
Today wasn’t just President Jiang’s lucky day, but theirs too!
In a day, they’re earning as much as a month’s salary!
They met the God of Wealth!
This time, Du Taoming didn’t need to remind them.
Jiang Tao picked up his phone once more and without a word, transferred another 6,666 yuan to his caddie.
The two young ladies who had worked at the course for so long had never experienced such generosity, bowing to thank Jiang Tao again.
After tipping, Du Taoming stepped onto the tee to play.
Old Du wasn’t bad either, this time using four strokes to sink his ball into the hole.
Two holes, five strokes apart from Jiang Tao!
Old Du had never played in such a headwind match!
The commotion between Jiang Tao and Du Taoming quickly drew the attention of other guests and caddies on different courses.
Just moments before, Du Taoming’s yelling and the consecutive bows and thanks from the two caddies were rather eye-catching on the course.
"There’s a hotshot over there, two consecutive holes both hole-in-one!"
"Are you for real? Pulling my leg? Even pros can’t do that!"
"It’s absolutely true! The young guy Old Du brought, his swing sounds like a cannon shot!"
When Jiang Tao and the others arrived at the third tee,
an unwitting crowd of curious golfers and their caddies had assembled.
Everyone had heard the miraculous news and wanted to see firsthand who this "talent monster" was.
The third hole was even harder.
There was a huge water hazard in front of the green.
It required extremely high precision and distance control to safely land on the green, let alone a hole-in-one.
Even with more and more onlookers gathering around,
Jiang Tao’s expression remained calm, with no ripples in his heart.
After observing for a dozen seconds, Jiang Tao swung again.
"Crack!"
The third terrifying blast echoed as expected!
The white ball ripped through the air with an almost brute-like stance, carving a slightly higher but still incredibly sharp arc than the previous two.
The ball precisely cleared that troubling water hazard, like a missile with calculated precision, landing hard in the center of the green!
The ball bounced once on the green, then started rolling, still heading for that fatal hole!
Seeing this, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
All eyes were glued to the rolling ball.
The ball rolled down approximately ten yards.
"Thunk!"
The third crisp sound of a ball sinking into a hole rang out.
Three consecutive holes-in-one!!!
"Oh my god, that’s, that’s incredible!!"
Someone exclaimed, instantly igniting the whole scene!
"It went in! It went in again! That’s invincible skill!"
"Three consecutive holes-in-one! Is this something a human can achieve!"
"Even Tiger Woods would bow down to this guy!"
The third hole-in-one completely set the entire scene ablaze.
Once again, Du Taoming’s gaze locked onto Jiang Tao.
Are you still going to claim you can’t play golf this time?
If you can’t, hitting three holes-in-one in a row, then no one in the world can play!
Talent monster!
Xiao Jiang is definitely a talent monster, simply born for golf!
