Local Knowledge,
Will always give you the edge,
On what bets to hedge,
Where best to plant a hedge,
Where not to dredge.
Ask a local and pay no fee,
Get the best info for free,
Even comes with a cup of tea,
And a garden in full bloom to see.
With local input,
You can increase your output,
With no no time out,
To hear the locals shout,
why were we not told about.
If you want long term profit,
Local knowledge will always be a better fit,
And save the need for a costly refit.
Best of all time for more golf will be a given,
So, why not give in,
Meet with the locals at their local Inn,
Put your original plan in the bin,
Giving logic time to settle in.
,
Most of the time quitters lose,
wasting chances of winning;
Although opportunity looks so slim,
one must go on trying.
Mind not big challenges,
for they are not that invincible;
Life loses some, wins some,
just try to beat them all.
As time comes and goes,
make the most of it;
Do the things now that give you the edge,
so later you'll never regret.
