Golfers

Accidental Poet



Yes, they’re a passionate bunch

For how they love the game

From small town courses

To the PGA with fame

 

Names of Nicklaus and Palmer

Well known by all

Now it’s Mcllroy and Mickelson

A new generation drives the ball

 

With the swing of a driver

A ball soars from the tee

Landing on waiting fairway

Then with a six iron to the green

 

Zealous voices from the crowd

“Sit down, sit down!”

“Get in the hole!”

In goes the ball with cheers all around

 

No, a golfer I’m not

Not sure why

Too many other things to do

Like watching paint dry

 

And no disrespect intended

I love passion in all its forms

But I find it hilarious

To a ball’s will, a golfer is sworn

    It's the one game where one can be alone, and yet be with friends.

      Good fun write AP. My brother plays golf, I play croquet and when we 'phone each other we go on and on about our games.

        My parents tried to get me to play, but I found its just not a game for me. I did play golf with Sharon and her dad once in a father/son/daughter game. I even wrote about it. I'll post it later today. Thanks for the read and comment Andy.

          Thanks Orchi. You & KP play?

            We might play - when I see her, that is. She's usually having Botox, or appearing in the papers yet again. Her ego trips, you know!

              Her ego trips? Over you or herself?
