Short story: Oscar keeps his eye on the ball

A realistic assessment of Oscar O’Neill’s sporting prowess had been forced upon him as a child in the most brutal fashion when his school had allowed other boys to pick teams at football. Nevertheless, the desire, shown by most schoolboys, to be a great sporting figure had not entirely left him. So when he read an article on sports vision, Oscar concluded this was his destiny.

Oscar decided he would focus this new-found knowledge on golf. This was based on the time that he had once holed the ball directly from a bunker on a pitch-and-putt course. It also conveniently ignored his less successful moments, such as the time he completely lost his temper after repeatedly failing to avoid the windmill arms in crazy golf.
