Plot
Marcie helps Peppermint Patty practice for the upcoming school golf tournament, acting as her caddie, as five younger kids spectate. This practice includes getting a ball out of a bunker by "carrying the sand". Later, at school, Peppermint Patty admires the school's championship cup, prematurely celebrating her own victory, while Marcie comments on the lack of mention of the caddies in the accolades.
