First Golf Lesson

Knees bent, slightly Right elbow in at side, tightly Squeeze buttocks, mightily Shoulders squared, rightly Chin tucked into neck, militarily -- Breathe in and out, warily Left arm ramrod straight, scarily Right arm looser, barely Head still, completely Feet shoulder width apart, neatly Now address the ball, discretely OK! Keep all those instructions firmly in mind, and just try and HIT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THAT TINY WHITE BALL -- without twisting yourself into a human pretzel ~ so sweetly

Truth is stranger than (poetry) fiction. I've actually seen golfers twist and fall when taking lessons from 'golf pros.' It's no laughing matter (to the golfers, anyway... LOL). Thanks, Jennifer. Smiles, Gershon

Thanks, I did have fun with this, especially the end... Just curious if you wound up 'playing Twister with it?! Smiles, Gershon

What? -- You're supposed to be pin-drop quiet while another player is in the midst of his/her swing. That's the 'what' of it. Golf etiquette is kind of like Miss Manners on steroids. Smiles, Gershon

This will come in handy some day... Wish I had had your instructions the last time I played golf. I threw my back out pretty bad.

Ouch! I can feel the pain from here... although twisting into a human pretzel doesn't sound a whole lot better... Hope that's all way behind you now! Best always, gw
