The last time the dating app had done quite well for him, though he couldn't imagine that Victoria had had much fun. This time, it had set him up with one of his colleagues, the psychiatrist at that. While he wouldn't guarantee that this would lead to a whirlwind romance, he could at least feel certain that they would have a few similar interests. Once again, the app had given him a decidedly odd location for a date: a miniature golf course. He had had to pull out a dictionary and look up what golf was, then specifically what variations were to be found in miniature golf. He hadn't paid much attention to scoring though: if his date was good at golf, then it would be a landslide victory anyway, and if his date was not good at golf, then they could be somewhat clueless together.
Given that today's date would be conducted outdoors, he opted for something a little cooler and more casual look: a tan linen "Titanic Suit," which he of course was willing to remove the jacket if it became too warm. Yes, this was genuinely him dressing down. He wore matching copper bands on each wrist. While this may have looked like an odd accessory, it was actual a power item: supposedly they would help minimize his chances of accidental static discharge. Thus far, it was working. He was even able to buy a secondhand old model smart phone off of one of his grad students. Thus as he was walking towards the course, he saw a notification from the app. Opening it up, he saw it was a message from Dr. Yang, stating he had already arrived. Jacob sent back a quick, I shall be there presently, and within a moment or two, he had entered upon the green. "Sorry I am a bit late. I confess, I have never been here before." Well, he wasn't particularly late, but it was still a good idea to go ahead and apologize.

Excellent! Dr. Yang was also unfamiliar with the sport, so it wasn't like one was going to embarrass the other. "I confess, I had to look golf up in a dictionary to find out what it was. Now I know the origin of the sport, but not really any strategy for playing it." It might seem extra lame that he had used a dictionary to look up the sport, but anyone familiar with his background would not be surprised: he had been raised by an academe to be an academe. He felt he probably should have paid for at least his pass, but Dr. Yang was too quick on the draw, as it were. "Thank you for covering my pass. May I make it up to you by inviting you to dinner afterwards? My treat, of course." He hoped he wasn't being too tit for tat, but he thought equally dividing the burden of cost would be seen as a positive trait.
He gave a brief smile at the mentioning of not knowing if "course" was the right word. "I have heard that word used in connection with golf, so yes, let's say that is the correct one. Oh! And as I recall, you are from Korea, correct? If you wish to speak Korean with me, I would appreciate the chance to practice. Mostly I end up reading papers or listening to lectures in Korean, and never get a chance to actually speak the language." After that matter was dealt with, he glanced over the map, surprised it was significantly larger than he would have expected. Also it was not in a sequential order, or even logically numbered. (("Shall we start with the first one we come to, and hope it isn't the most difficult one?" )) Or hope that neither of them hit a ball into someone's window, which was a distinct possibility with two novices.
