Isn'T Golf Strange

Isn't golf a strange sport
In the way its fans comport

Hit the ball straight and true
All folks do is ahh and ooh

When do fans let out a cheer
When in the hole, it disappears

Agree with some of the other comments - way above par!! As a golfer myself this pretty much hits the spot. A hole in one Gershon. Best wishes...Ron

Ah, a fellow golfer. Wonderful. Of course, I can't play anymore (or do much of anything), but I did so enjoy the sport. Thanks, Ron. :) gw

Sorry to say, as golf scores go, but this one was way above par my friend. You hit this one straight and true. : )

Cute. I love golf but would never follow someone around on a course just to watch. Not exactly NFL football. Stay frosty my friend.

i just took the golf team on an outing, watched parts i could see, if the greens where in view, my dad golfed but i still don't know much about it, enjoyed your penning and feel you deserve praise more than the sport itself does :) hugs

I'm truly blushing. Golf is a great sport, and I --- a speck of sand at best. Appreciate your kind words, Sandra. ~ Gershon

I love this, golf feeds into part of my life so I really enjoyed each sentiment and concurred. Golf, perfect lullaby as toddler to adult for lullaby induced naps. The whispering nailed it, I was / am gone. Baseball, Basketball and Football were also background lullabies while growing up and sometimes equally nap-worthy. Thing is, all the above is Dad related, brings him to me and so I also feel love. Your poem was very, very good to me. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
