Discuss the significance of Jordan cheating in her first golf tournament in order to win in The Great Gatsby.

Jordan's cheating reveals much about her character. 
Jordan is amoral.  She does not cling to moral structures or sentimental expressions. 
Jordan is the flapper who embodies most of what it means to be a part of the intense
social scene of the 1920s.  Jordan does not care about anything other than her own
pleasure and her own happiness.  Her cheating reflects this.  She wants to get ahead and
wants whatever will make her happy.  Golf being a "sport of gentlemen" and one that
follows "gentleman's rules" would have been seen by Jordan as an opportunity to advance
her own desires of winning.  She would never have capitulated to an order or structure,
and certainly would not sacrifice for one that is based on intrinsic notions of the
good.  Jordan is motivated by the sense of self, and this is reflective in how she
carries herself throughout the novel and in her past.
