What a game!!

What a game!!..






Golf! what a game, ha hit the ball, and:
then
chase it down and
SMACK it, once:
again


There's 16 or so sticks, that you can hit it,

with.

different, lengths, sizes, shapes, and even, a different:

pitch.

Then your swing's supposed to be,
the same each and every
time.

If I match 5 outa 10, I'm feelin pretty awesome, sometimes,

sublime.


But, then you gotta go for, par, a number each hole's

assigned
I think whoever picks em, isn't
, very nice or,  remotely,

kind.


Birdies are one, under par,
and bogies, are over, by,
just, one
Eagles, well I might, as well, try to fly

cause , in the 10 years, since I started, playin again,
I, haven't but, thrice, come close, it
's not too often,  
done.


Then putting, you gotta do, when you finally get on the

green.

There's: belly, 3-ball, 2- ball, 1- ball, no ball, 

milled, brass, forged, copper, steel, titanium---WOW!

Have ya, that many choices, in one game,
ever seen?


But when ya smack it,  juuuust right, and on the green,

ya land,

Well way to go, great shot! and strike up the,

band.


Ya, that's what keeps ya comin back ,
tryin to keep that swing, always and ever, the 

same.

But other times, it  drives you mad,
this: masochistic, over-rated, crazy, darn:
game.


At times it frustrates, and makes ya nuts
I'd as soon,  dead leaves,

be rakin

Cause there's nothin but truth in that old adage:

They called it: GOLF, cause all the other, four letter words, were already,
taken!!

Got a kick out of this great write. It definitely is a mind game and I've heard many a four letter word on the course and they weren't talking about golf but cussin the damn lie. Slice,hook I got to know them all and spent years correcting them. One day a fellow I did notknow joined us to make a four some. He watched me slice a few and then asked to see my grip. He moved my thumb to a different position and voila no more slice. I couldn't thank him enough. A pro probably could have corrected this also if I only had used one.

Ahhhh, ROCKY, you are in truly good form!!! HAPPY MUCH?

No wonder, you have your own fabulous line of Clubs!!!

WHO KNEW?

I tried, and finally, gave it up - I COULD not get it in the cup!
Then, I reverted to croquet - not so good, and yet, I play
because I just CAN"T get away......from shouting FOUR!!!

[yes, I know it's FORE! and I have been known to play rather well, actually! except when my cart rolls backwards down a hill! LOL1000x]

i'll have to try YOUR line of clubs...who knows, ROCK? I may become a GOOF PRO............oh! that's GOLF pro! I promise Dad, I'll give you the glory! ~ sis
