Since Gore is very good at sports, he is rash enough to believe that he can learn to play championship golf in a week. He challenges Lindsay to a match, but he soon learns that he has been foolish. He is about to face defeat when the ghost of Cardinal Smeaton, a notorious figure from the Scottish renaissance, offers to help him" (Bleiler).
