Notice how much better-dressed Torrey is than the Milford High girls who frequent the Bucket.
When she says “No, but my Dad is …” does she mean he is “a bit weird” or “a maniac?”
Nice bunch of kids we’ve been meeting in this adventure. Can’t say the same about Carl Peake.
Still don’t understand why they would slum it at the Bucket, but Torrey’s got her hooks on another toy for a rousing session of “Club Pro and Range Boy”.
Carl Peake, maniac. I have this weird flashback, circa 1982, Carl in dance tights, sweating profusely. The boombox is blaring, “Just a hometown girl on a Saturday night.” I know this is plain wrong fellow Thorpsters, I can’t help it.
So, in 15 years Chris, has a conversation with his caddy about life:
I once knew a guy who could have been a great golfer, could have gone pro, all he needed was a little time and practice. Decided to go to college instead. Went for four years, did pretty well. At the end of his four years, his last semester he was kicked out… You know what for? He was night putting, just putting at night with the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Peake… You know who that guy was Danny?
Hey grshprnh, if a kiss is birdie…does that mean that talking her out of her sweater is an eagle? Looks to me that in P3 is done with the sweater. Just wondering. I like the aggressive ones…LOL
I would venture that Chris has a car, and when they leave the Bucket they go for a drive to the park. Torrey leaves her jacket in the car while they go for a romantic walk in the park, which would explain the wardrobe malfunction.
Next episode - Torrey and Chris return to the car only to find it missing, with Carl standing there looking at his watch - “only five minutes until curfew Chris, better make your move if you want to be a Winner!
hmmmmm from a jacket with a light colored top to a black sleeveless tank-top. 3 layers huh? Must be very cold there. I guess he warmed her up? This strip is getting ridiculous. The artist needs to be fired! Bring on football practice.
Love the latest Gil Thorp. I married a young lady whose last name was Peake. Her father was named Carl. Kind of scarey. At least he wasn’t like Torry’s dad but she was just as lovely as Torry. All I can say for Chris is that he has got his hands full dealing with this little firecracker. Love to see where this is going.

How in the heck is she holding that cup in P1?

Hey, it could be worse. Cassie could be featured coming across in the parking lot for the old man.

This is when we really need a young womans’ perspective with the jacket /sweater removal thing between P1 and P3….oh Jennifer!
A kiss on the first date, what is that in golf a birdie.

Why don’t either of them open their eyes? Are they afraid they might see Carl “peeking” at them?
Also, I thought Chris was going to “pick U up at The Bucket.” Looks like they actually went in and spent time there.

Well, they met there in P1 and then they walked somewhere. Chris isn’t a big spender. But with Torrey’s aggressive attitude, he doesn’t need to be.
