Golf Tales Volume 1 – Part 4

Balls stared out the window of his office in one of high-rise buildings in DTLA. It was mid-morning, and, for some reason, the marine layer was sticking around.  Normally, it receded to the beach communities until around noon when it went away completely, but it was thick in DTLA and
