A Bucket of White Balls

A golf club left or right Depends which hand You use to hit the ball A bucket of white balls Now all set to begin Balls on the tee-swing club Then hit-hit-try again The ball does not move Try again hit the ball Now you got it! Landed on the course The large putting course You did well but could better So try , try , try again Oh good,the ball went further

Love it Darlene Some people often make the assumption that Golf and hitting balls is easy until they try it . Not so easy then

Hello Christopher Flaherty, I never haerd anyone say that it is easy to hit the ball. I did not hit the ball several times. Then when I did It did not go too far. Yet it was fun. Right not so easy. Have a nice day my friend.

Golf is a tricky game to learn and to play, not that I play golf, but from what I've seen and heard. You describe learning and then playing the game perfectly. Well done, Hugs, Jennifer..

Hello Jennifer Proxenos,oh--no! it was not golf. it is called Putting the practice before playing golf. Putting is not simple. No matter how hard you hit the ball from the tee it stays put. Yet is fun to do. i never golfed. just Put. Have a nice day my friend.
