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.

- I know, I know, but listen,

if you truly wanna learn, you

have to believe there's a way.

Never give up, okay.

Now, I can't promise anything,

but I think I

might have an idea.

- Thomas.

Thomas.

- Where's the fire?

- I'm not paying

you to read, okay?

- I hardly notice you were

paying me at all to be honest.

- You're very lucky to

have a job, we are lucky.

So, you're gonna clean this up

and to have discussion

for improvements,

Henderson wants this

place filled with golfers.

- This place, this place

filled with golfers?

Oh, it's a crazy dream.

- It's not a joke.

We have two months to start

showing a profit, okay?

Otherwise we're out of business.

- Okay, I'll get right on it.

- Hi.

- Oh, hello, you must be lost.

- Ms. Papadopoulos, welcome.

I'm so happy to see you again.

Ms. Papadopoulos is

a professional golfer

from the United States.

- Oh, the cavalry come

to save us, good luck.

- And Thomas is our greenskeeper

and have a lot of work to do.

Go, Thomas.

So, when can we start?

- Oh, wait, hold on,

not so fast, I have...

- excuse me, it's Henderson

and give Ms. Papadopoulos a tour

and I'll be right

back, I'm sorry.

- So, you wanna have a look

around our little sinking ship?

- Oh, Mr. Henderson.

How nice to hear from

you this fine day.

- How about we cut

the crap, Pano?

Are things shaping up out there?

- Of course, sir, I've

just hired a golf pro.

- What's his name?

- His name, sir?

- Yeah, tough question,

what's his name?

- His name is

car, Carter, Zach

Carter, yes, Zach Carter.

- Where did you find him?

- Well, this is a

very interesting

and complicated story, sir.

- Well, how about you give

me the three second version?

- Yes, of course, sir.

He was working in

Elle's club in Dubai

and he needed a

change of scenery,

so I hired him immediately.

- Excellent, excellent,

but you know what, Pano?

I just decided I'm

not gonna fire you.

- Oh, thank you very

much, Mr. Henderson,

thank you, really,

very much, thank you.

- I'm all in.

- You are all in.

- The course looks

a little different than I remember it.

- How do you remember it?

- Beautiful, no?

- Well, you certainly

can't beat the views.

On the other hand, that

clubhouse could maybe use

a fresh coat of paint.

- Fresh coat of paint?

Yeah, well, that is viewing

the glass half full.

- So, have you thought

about my offer?

- I have, yes.

- And?

- I'm interested.

- You are?

- If we can make a deal.

- What did you have in mind?

- A few things.

I'm free to go whenever I want,

no contract, no commitments.

- Deal.

- I can use the course

whenever I want.

- Deal.

- I run all the

clinics by my own rules

and I take a 10% commission.
