Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

"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...

James Fraser October 17, 2010 at 2:18 PM I so love warching the Ryder Cup and the US and British Opens, yet I have never swung a club in anger. Nice piece Michael, and good luck in the contest >> James

Francine Roberts October 17, 2010 at 8:49 AM good luck with the contest , tho I have never gotten the love some people have for chasing that little ball around in all kinds of weather, p.s. you have soupmail

Carolyn Devonshire October 17, 2010 at 8:43 AM 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

Poet Destroyer A October 17, 2010 at 7:42 AM interesting one, a passion you have I couldn't share lol, I have no golfing or chasing that white ball in me lol, enjoyed your write,..P.D.

John Loving Iii October 17, 2010 at 7:27 AM 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

Sylvia Coulstock October 17, 2010 at 7:03 AM 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)
