"chasing That White Ball"

A strong passion of mine in recent years is being on a golf fairway... Its a place as other golfers would agree is an escape from stress of every day... Its definitely a whole new kind of stress but a hand full of good shots brings smiles... The friendships found, with either lawyers or doctors even the bartender who hits it a mile... We are all even on hole number one with jokes and caddyshack quotes as one putts on the greens... The passion for golf runs straight through my soul, a good or bad day my smile still gleams... Even if tired or worn out after a long day at work, nothing stops me from making that four pm. tee time... Either on a Myrtle beach well groomed course, or public one with divots and a green you can't find.. There is no better place to be then standing in a tee box with your driver in hand.. A full swing on beautiful blue sky day and hopefully seeing where your ball will land... "Passion Pit" contest by "Sweetheart of Poetry Soup" Linda...

Michael, my sister and brother-in-law are golfers and my dad was too. But no one ever wanted to play with me because I slow them down. LOL It's great to have such a passion for something that allows you to enjoy the great outdoors. Fishing does it for me, but I won't be entering this contest. Wishing you success! Love, Carolyn

your the right person i needed right now in my sadness. i have recieved several invitations to play. but i never have. and reading about the joy it brings you it makes me think that this may be a path for me to take. so i'll find a club and go to the driving range and and see if i can hit the ball or not. and i enjoyed this write very much. john

Hi Michael Thanks for commenting on my humorous piece.There are compensations on being old like ' time to smell the roses 'get into things you like doing.Young or old alike need to have something that they enjoy to take them away from the hardships of life.I think you have described your passion for golf very well and have given it alot of appeal for a non-sports person.Good luck in the contest.Meantime tee off and have fun. luv June(Sylvia)
