Teacher: In this task, you're given the middle and ending of a three-part story. Your job is to complete the short story by writing a probable beginning of the story. Generated sentences must be short, have fewer than 10 words, and be simple as if narrating to a child. Avoid using any irrelevant extra information when creating the beginning, and use names (e.g. Jack, Barbara,...) instead of pronouns (e.g. he / she) wherever possible.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Middle: Helen planned to drive to Canada but it started snowing heavily. Ending: Helen stayed home instead and planned to go another day.
Solution: Helen lived in America.
Reason: Mention of the destination country name and driving implies that Helen is from a nearby foreign country.

Now, solve this instance: Middle: He finally hit a tee shot onto the green but it looked like it would miss the hole. Ending: It fell in right after, John was ecstatic.
Student:
John was a mediocre golfer.
