The Rip On Twelve: A Short Story

Taylor Dye, the creator of the Intermediaries, introduces you to two of the greatest golfers in history. Kyoichi Yen is one of the top golfers on the professional tour, and certainly one of the most exciting. Known for his aggressive play and passionate, almost child-like, exuberance for the game, the thousands of spectators who follow his every move during a tournament are never sure what he's going to try to pull off next. Will he rip a drive five hundred yards, miraculously reaching a par-5 green in a single stroke? Or will he shank it out of bounds? Will he make an impossible hook around a tall stand of evergreens? Or is his ball destined to be the newest addition inside a bird's nest? Will he sink an unbelievable sixty-foot putt that twists and turns its way to the hole? Or will he watch in horror as it twists its way off the green and into a lake? In every way that Ky risks it all for the spectacular play, the elder and more experienced Gabe Whinslott is cool, steady, and eerily consistent, keeping him at the top of the leaderboard in every tournament he plays. So what happens when Gabe and Ky are paired together and Ky needs a spectacular shot to stay in contention? Like the thousands of onlookers following them along the picturesque Hundred Acre Wood golf course, and the millions watching from home.you'll have to see it to believe it.
