Why I Cheated

Golf is a slow and boring game. Looking back, I resent my parents for signing me up when I was just a kid. I didn’t want to play then, and I don’t want to play now. Yeah, I know I’m talented, but how could anyone expect a girl like me to get tied down to something so terrifically boring! I’m not like those other players. I don’t live for the game, I didn’t even chose this path for myself, it was placed in my lap. With my inarguable talents, and my parents’ strong connections, I was playing pro before I even realized. That was the end of line for me and I was devastated. I was locked into a career with no way out.
            My first few games as a pro player went well enough. I played honestly, and I won. I was good, and I began to make a name for myself, and the money was pouring in. I had been born into wealth, so this wasn’t new to me, but the independence of it all was alluring. I no longer had to worry about my parents cutting me off; I could live lavishly without their financial support. So I moved away from my parents, and off to New York. I had never seen so many parties in my life. I was hooked on parties and stopped golfing nearly all together. Soon enough, my money was gone, and I was not prepared to return home to my parents. I couldn’t afford to lose my next tournament, so I cheated.
