Synopsis: Following a meltdown on tour that results in her suspension, professional golfer Zoe Papadopoulos travels to her grandparents' village in Rhodes, Greece, to escape the harsh spotlight of the international sports world. Between baking bread and eating baklava, she meets and mentors a ten-year-old girl who is determined - against all odds - to become the next golf sensation.

- It's okay, Zoe, it's okay.

Don't worry about this

golf, it is nothing.

No, no, golf is very important for Zoe.

We want to hear, tell us.

- I could sum it all up in

one sentence, I have the yips.

- Yips?

- What are yips?

- It's a kind of golf curse.

It means I can't putt,

if I can't putt, I can't play,

there's no more tour for me.

- Well, maybe the

time for golf is over,

maybe it's time

for something new.

- What your Pappous

means is we want you

to stay here as

long as you like.

We have golf course

here, you 'member?

- How can I forget?

It's the first place dad

ever took me to play.

I haven't been there is so long.

- Yeah, you don't wanna

go there, trust me.

It is owned by a rude American

and run by a Greek idiot.

- What does it matter,

it's still a proper golf course

where Zoe can practice her yips.

Eh? Eh?

- Well, this is quite

a golf course, Panos.

- I'm glad to hear it, sir.

- Kinda like playing

in your own backyard.

Got the whole place to yourself.

- Privacy is very important, sir

- you know what it

reminds me of, Panos?

Peeing in a dark suit.

You get this warm feeling,

but nobody notices.

- Yes.

- You see, I didn't

pay a small fortune

to have my own

private golf course.

I bought this thing because

I wanted to make some money.

- Yes, yes, making money

is very important, sir.

- Will you explain to me how

I'm suppose to make some money

when there's not one

blessed golfer out here?

Oh my god.

Are those sheep, really?

I've got big plans

for this Panayiotis

and if you wanna be involved,

then you get this house in order

and you turn this ship around.

- I'm really sorry, sir.

I just didn't know when you

want to begun the renovation,

but now I know it and

from tomorrow morning,

I will start

renovate everything.

We can hire a golf

professional or...

- do I look like

the guy who gives

a rat's ass how you do it?

Next time I come back here,

I wanna see this place

filled with paying golfers.

- Excuse me, sir.

- Don't make me sorry

I hired you Panayiotis.

- I apologize, everything

will be better, I promise.

Why did you bring the sheep here!

You're killing me!

What do you want? Money?

Always money?

Oh! Come on!

How did you get in here?

Thank you.

- How did you do it?

- Oh, hello, again.

- Father Anthony said you're

professional golfer from LPGA.

Is it true?

- This is true.

My name is Zoe Papadopoulos.

- I'm Stella.

- Well, nice to

meet you, Stella.

Now, how did I do what exactly?

- Hit the shot the other day,

I want to know how you did it.

- Well, that's a tough question.

I mean, you never quite know

how good a shot's

gonna be, do you?

You can do all the preparation
