Patti Putter is takinga class to learn to play golf. Her teacher, Gandolf Golfer, is agolf pro. He has a pocket filled with purple golf tees, Patti'sfavorite color. On seeing the purple tees, Patti is no longerpaying attention to the instruction, but instead is staringlongingly at the tees in Gandolf's hands.

Gandolf notices Pattistaring at the tees, and he states "Patti, you seem more interestedin these purple tees than in what I'm trying to say. I promise thatI will give you these tees at the end of the lesson today."

Patti gets visiblygiddy with excitement, and without saying anything, jumps in hergolf cart and speeds off in the direction of the clubhouse.

When the class arrivesat the final hole for the day's lesson, Patti pulls up her cart,and gets out holding several purple golf balls. She eagerlyannounces "I'm ready for my tees!"

Gandolf replies "Oh,I'm sorry Patti. I'm actually running low on golf tees, and I needthese for the next class. I'm afraid you can't have thesetees."

Patti retorts "Youhave to give them to me. You made an enforceable promise."

Is Patti correct inher assertion that Gandolf’s promise is enforceable in thissituation? That is, does this promise have consideration?
