— Brief

On Course (also referred to as The Meet) is the introductory mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update.

Description

Meet Franklin at the Los Santos Golf Club in Richman to discuss the VIP client.

“'Ey, partner, what's up. Listen, I got some news for us. Yeah, some great news. I don't wanna say too much over the phone, but remember that big client I was fishin' for? The kinda A-Lister that'll give us that jump? Well, check this out. We got a meeting over at the golf club. Yeah, that's right, it's all set. 'Ey, they play that borin'-ass game all day, so just head over there when you ain't handlin shit for the office, a'ight? Oh, yeah, and someone in the clubhouse? They goin' help you get dress code compliant. 'Ey, I'll see you soon, a'ight?”

— Franklin's call after the first Security Contract

On the first playthrough, it is received after completing their first Security Contract at the player's Agency; the player will receive a phone call from Franklin Clinton inviting them to Los Santos Golf Club. When replaying the Dr. Dre contract, it is not required to replay this mission.

Enter the clubhouse to meet Franklin and the VIP client.

After picking out an outfit in the clubhouse, the player meets Franklin outside at the golf club proper, who is similarly attired, to meet the important client he has lined up for F. Clinton and Partner. As they walk across the golf course, Franklin explains the club is where all the Vinewood deals get made, but one has to play golf for the important stuff. On the way to the fourth hole, he points out their contact DJ Pooh, who walks over partway to greet Franklin and is introduced to the Protagonist, his business associate. On the way back to the tee-off area, Franklin assures Pooh that the agency is set up and ready to go and Pooh points out that his own reputation will be on the line if the pair doesn't deliver. He then introduces Franklin and the player to rapper Dr. Dre, who has dragged out record executive and friend Jimmy Iovine to play golf.

Just as introductions are made, the group is interrupted by Eugene and Raymond asking to play through, as they are blocking the fourth hole. Dre refuses to allow them through, which causes the two golfers to threaten Dre and the group with a golf course ban, as Raymond's wife is "having an affair with the owner" and therefore has connections.

Once the two storms off, Dre asks Franklin and the player to prove themselves by dealing with the two golfers: if they're good enough to find his property, this should be easy for them. He briefly explains that his cell phone was in fact not lost, but stolen a year ago, and it contained unreleased music he was working on. He is adamant that he get his work secured, as he will not release any music to the public before he decides it's ready. They agree, and when Franklin confronts the golfers, they flee in their golf carts. Franklin and the player jump in a Caddy to begin a pursuit with the player at the wheel.

The player chases the two golf carts through Del Perro, ramming them until an intimidation meter is filled and Raymond gives up. Once the second cart is damaged enough, the player and Franklin tail Eugene to Del Perro Pier, where his Caddy breaks down with him getting out and running in fear for a short length when he trips and falls on the boardwalk. The player then intimidates Eugene by beating him with a golf club, until he ends it by telling them that he'll resign his own membership and drop any action against Dre.

Once the intimidation is over, Franklin calls Dr. Dre and lets him know that the matter has been dealt with. Dre then hires F. Clinton & Partner to search for his cell phone, and Franklin asks him to send them what information he has so they can get started right away.

Pre-mission Phone Call

After completing at least one Security Contract, the Protagonist gets a call from Franklin. Franklin: 'Ey, partner, what's up. Listen, I got some news for us. Yeah, some great news. I don't want to say too much over the phone, but remember that big client I was fishin' for? The kinda A-lister that'll give us the jump? Well, check this out. We got a meeting over at the golf club. Yeah, that's right. It's all set. 'Ey, they playin' that borin'-ass game all day, so just head over there when you ain't handlin' shit for the office, a'ight? Oh, yeah, and someone in the clubhouse?

Mission Transcript

The Protagonist goes to the golf club. After getting dressed, they meet Franklin at the back of the clubhouse. Franklin: Hey, you made it. Nice threads. 'Ey, how do I look? ... Let's roll. They walk out to the golf course. Franklin: 'Ey, you know in Vinewood, this is where all the deals get done... but if you really want in on it, you gotta play the game. Aight, look, follow my lead, 'cause these dudes straight moguls. He points out one guy getting out of a golf cart near the 4th tee. Franklin: You see that skinny one right there? That's DJ Pooh. That's our plug, homie. Meanwhile at the 4th tee, Dr. Dre takes a swing. He gives the ball a look. It comes to rest a few yards from the hole. Dr. Dre: Nah, I'm going again. Jimmy Iovine: Come on, really? Dr. Dre: I can do better. Jimmy: Is this what we got all dressed up for? Dr. Dre: Mmhmm. Yeah. Jimmy: I knew I was gonna hate this. I don't like sports that you can snack when you play. Next time, we're going roller skating. Dr. Dre laughs as he sets up his next shot. DJ Pooh approaches Franklin and the Protagonist. DJ Pooh: Hey, good to see you, bro. Franklin: Hey, what's up, Pooh. DJ Pooh: Man, who the fuck is this? Franklin: Shit, it's my business associate. DJ Pooh: Associate? Shit getting real. Franklin: Hell yeah. DJ Pooh: Come on. Now you're sure about this? Franklin: Hell yeah, I'm sure. Shit, we ready, we set up, we ready to go, dog. DJ Pooh: Alright, but y'all better deliver, fuck my shit up too. They approach Dr. Dre, who is now picking up blades of grass and dropping them to check the wind. DJ Pooh: Yo, Dre! This is Franklin Clinton. This is his associate. They're gonna help us get that thing done, man. Franklin: What's up, dog, appreciate you for havin' us. Dr. Dre: Not a problem. Just gimme a sec. He takes another swing with his golf club. The ball comes to rest inches away from the hole. He groans. Dr. Dre: You know what, I'll take a Mulligan. Jimmy: That was a perfect shot. You could sneeze and blow that in. Dr. Dre: Nah, nah, hold up. I got this. He sets another ball on the tee. Jimmy: This is a stupid fucking game. The things I do for a hit record. Dr. Dre: So wait... you're the one that's gonna find the phone, right? Two other golfers approach. Eugene: Excuse me? Mister... er... Young, is it? Look, we're gonna play through, okay? Give you plenty of time to finish up... whatever this is. Dr. Dre: You're gonna what? Jimmy: Come on, we'll just be a second. Right, Dre? Eugene: Play through. We're gonna play through. Dr. Dre: Listen. You ain't playin' through shit, motherfuckers. Eugene: Oh, very nice. That's very nice. Raymond: This place has gone to crap. Jimmy: What did you just say? Raymond: You heard what I said. How are we supposed to play a round with this bullshit? This used to be a club for pros. DJ Pooh: Hey, man, back the fuck up and shut your bitch ass up. Raymond: No, screw this. I still have friends on the board. My wife's having an affair with the owner! Every single one of you is gonna be blackballed before you reach the ninth tee. Dr. Dre: Is that right? Raymond: Yeah, that's right! Come on, Eugene! Me and you are gonna make some calls and see what's what. They go back to their golf carts. Jimmy: What the fuck was that about? DJ Pooh: Man the fuck if I know. Dr. Dre: With everything that's going on in my life right now, this is the last fucking thing I need. Jimmy: She's having an affair with the owner? I gotta call this guy. Dr. Dre: Nah, nah, nah, nah. Fuck that and fuck this. If these two guys have what it takes to find my property, then they can definitely take care of this shit. Franklin: We got you, homie. Dr. Dre: Good. 'Cause I'm done with swinging these fucking clubs, man. He snaps the club he's holding in half. Jimmy: What are you doing? Dr. Dre: Listen, take care of these fucking assholes before they make trouble for me and if you do, you can handle my business. My phone wan't lost, man, it was stolen. And there's material on that fuckin' phone that I really care about. Unreleased material, you know what I'm saying? And if you know anything about me, you know that I don't put anything out before it's ready. And I'm dead-ass serious about that. Franklin: We got you, homie. Dr. Dre: Come on, guys, let's get the fuck outta here. I'm getting agitated. Jimmy: You were kinda pissed off before they said anything. You really need to try something for your mood. Dr. Dre: I am... it's called golf. Jimmy: Well, golf ain't working. Next time, we're gonna go skate at the rink. Meanwhile, Franklin and the Protagonist approach the other golfers. Franklin: 'Ey, you two bitches can't wait for the legend to shoot his shot? The golfers get in golf carts and drive away. Franklin: Where you going? I thought you liked to talk! Franklin and the Protagonist get in another golf cart to chase them. Franklin: C'mon, man. The Protagonist must now ram the other golfers' carts to intimidate them. Franklin: 'Ey, get after 'em, man, let's go! Raymond: Um, Eugene? Eugene: What? Raymond: We have a serious problem here! Eugene: I know, Raymond! Just drive! Franklin: 'Ey, we ain't gotta kill no-one here. We just gotta get 'em to stop and put a beatin' on they ass. Now ram them motherfuckers! ... Right there, 'ey, right there! Raymond: Eugene, what do I do? Franklin: 'Ey, let's do it for the doctor. Come on. Franklin: 'Ey, come on, man, fuck with hime some more! Eugene: You're paying for that! One of the golf carts enters the Backlot City. Franklin: Is this motherfucker goin' through the movie studio? Franklin: Man, shit, I know one of the producers around here. I hope his ass ain't at work today... Eventually, Eugene (Golfer A) is fully intimidated. Franklin: Hey, look, lay off a little bit. We need this asshole in one piece so we can have a little talk, a'ight? Follow him and let's see where he ends up. Franklin: 'Ey, now this the day they goin' be talking about when F Clinton and Partner is listed on the BAWSAQ 500. Franklin: 'Ey, you and me landing clients the hard way. Man, I told you this where the deals get done... I didn't think it'd be like this, though. They follow Eugene to the end of Del Perro Pier, where Eugene gets out of the golf cart and runs a short distance. Franklin: There he is! We got his ass! They stop near Eugene, who is laying on the floor. They approach him, the Protagonist armed with a golf club. Franklin: Shit, a'ight, partner, 'ey, get your swing warmed up! Now let's play! The Protagonist gets to within swinging distance of Eugene. Franklin: 'Ey, c'mon, let's fuck his ass up a little bit. Eugene: Hey, hey, come on, calm down! Franklin: 'Ey, c'mon, let's explain some shit to this lil' bitch. Eugene: Now, let's just be reasonable... What's your price? Franklin: Nah, motherfucker, it's only one language yo' ass goin' understand. Eugene: Take it easy. I apologize. You hear that? I apologize! Franklin: Man, c'mon, let's beat this motherfucker ass. The Protagonist hits Eugene a few times with the golf club. Franklin: Nah, compliments of Dre, motherfucker. Uh-uh, make sure he understand! 'Ey, this place under new management, you understand me? Fore! Eugene: Okay, okay, yeah... Eugene:   Tell Mr. Young... I-I'm sorry! It won't happen again... Call Mr. Young... tell him... I'll resign my membership... today! Franklin: A'ight, a'ight! I think he done some thinkin'. Now let me call Dre right quick. (He calls Dr. Dre.) Hey, Dre. We took care of that thing. ... Nah, you won't be hearing from them no more. But what about that other thing? ... Alright, cool, look, send it over, we'll get right on it. ... My man. MISSION PASSED
