The Golfing Newbie

The players come out to play. The audience gathered around, cheering them on. One by one they take acknowledgment . The speaker motions to settle down. He steps up to the tee with confidence. Ahead of him lies sand and a deep pond. The ball takes flight now so high and far. Missing the hazards now it's home run. A crowd supports him by cheering him on. Walking so proud looking for the ball. Walking down a runway of grass and looking. He hits a ball again oh how fun. They gather like mocking birds. They watch now on the green and what a sight. This time a moment if silence. He hits the ball and wait, the club flies just as well. He gasps for air and stutters. Bogey now becomes a painful word so not right. If only he had a good caddy now. This is no good especially in an all time tourney. What happened to his skills just now. Feeling numb from the shoulders on down. Oh what a trauma to the family name. Momma will knock him out onto a gurney. All that prize money flashing before him. And it was such a dream to walk on top. Looking at the crowd watching him now. He chokes his caddy till it turns all blue. What a clown says one, join a circus maybe. Now going in history as a big flop.
