In your day
The course was all yours
Master of ball and club
Just short of the PGA Tour
You loved the game
And the game loved you
At home on the fairway
On the putting green too
Growing up, I never realized
How great a man you really were
Now looking back
More like you I wish I were
I wish I’d played golf with you
Spent more time listening
To the memories you spoke of
Paid more attention to my dad I was hearing
Hindsight, a double-edged sword
Appreciating the past
With tear filled eyes
Sorry it went by so fast
You’d watch golf on TV
I could see it in your eyes
How you still wanted to play
Your Heaven under blue skies
And now you play a Heavenly course
With all your golfing buddies
Showing them all how it’s done
In Country Club studies
