**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mitchell, Holmes, young Mitchell

**First appearance:** 0000-archibald-s-benefit

## Snapshot

A young golfer whose game and romantic hopes are at the mercy of the club's social rituals and the Oldest Member's watchful eye.

## Who they are

Mitchell Holmes moves through the club as a young player still learning how much of golf happens between shots — in glances, silences, and the stories older members tell. His youth puts him at odds with the settled hierarchies of the links, where reputation is built as much on composure as on score. His fortunes in the early arc turn on whether he can hold his nerve when the game stops being only a game.
