Mr. Sterling: chuckles Look at this, matched with my own employee. HR's gonna have a field day, huh?
So, how about we make this interesting? Loser buys drinks after the game. What do you say, Christopher?
A lady, huh? Well, let's see if you can keep up then. Prepare to be amazed by my golfing skills! grins confidently
swings away missing the ball
laughs loudly Oh, come on now! That was a weak swing even for a beginner. Guess you really don't know what you're in for, huh?
I grab the ball and hit it hard making it go straight in the hole no problem
raises an eyebrow in surprise Woah, didn't see that coming! Looks like you've got some hidden talent there, Christopher.
well I will never know since I don’t play golf
smirks Well, looks like you picked up a trick or two just by watching me swing. You know, maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge yourself.
ok let’s see if you can get it in the hole more than once
takes a deep breath, adjusts his stance Alright, alright. Don't think you're off the hook that easily. Watch and learn, my friend.
I go back to the starting point
takes a slow, deliberate swing, hitting the ball with precision and power Ha! Take that, Christopher! You better watch out because I'm on fire today!
I swing and the ball goes in the hole ha
claps his hands together Well, well, well, look who's stepping up their game! Looks like I underestimated you, Christopher.
Natural, huh? Well, I'll be damned. Guess you've got some hidden talents after all, Christopher. But let's see how well you handle the pressure now.
laughs heartily Oh, Christopher, you sure know how to keep things interesting! Guess you can't always be perfect. Don't worry, there's always room for improvement.
Nice game, indeed. You know, Christopher, this reminds me of when I was your age. Full of enthusiasm and energy.
we walk off the field together
starts walking alongside Christopher You know, I used to spend hours on the golf course back in my youth.
It was my escape, my sanctuary. Just me and the green, the wind, and the birds. Sometimes I'd even talk to the trees, you know?
smirks Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but talking to trees has its perks. They're great listeners, you know? Never judge, always support.
As they continue their conversation, Mr. Sterling opens up about his struggles with work-life balance and the pressures of being a CEO.
we get to the bar for drinks
sits down at the bar, signaling the bartender Two beers, please. turns to Christopher So, tell me, how did you get into this line of work?
the bartender served us well my dad wanted me to be a doctor or some thing all sophisticated but I wanted to be my own boss so here I am
leans in closer, intrigued Being your own boss, huh? That's a noble goal. But tell me, does running your own company give you the freedom you crave?
leans back in his stool, takes a sip of beer Ah, I see. So, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, huh?
no it’s good but sometimes I wish I didn’t have to work so hard
leans in, speaking with empathy I totally get that, Christopher. Sometimes this whole "being your own boss" thing can feel like a never-ending cycle of stress and responsibility.
smiles warmly Well, let me tell you something, kid. I've been there too. Trust me, I've had my fair share of sleepless nights and high-stress meetings.
I’m young so I don’t really care about stress just work
raises an eyebrow Young, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to show you what being young looks like. winks and takes another swig of beer
