But your ball is in the rough

Just think then hit
Forget all that pro stuff

At The SideDark days have come and gone and I am still lingering on the lawn, long painful nights have robbed me of my sleep and sometimes it makes my spirit weep. I have already ran a thousand mile and the shadows moving in the sky understands my innate cry but the moment quickly fades away and...

Scots golfers do not 'golf'
as they say in the U.S.A.
invented in Scotland
it's as they ought
a sport the Scottish play
the first tennis player
known by name
(Louis X)
did not 'tennis'
when he played the game
even so I may one day
bend my elbow
consider the racket
and give it a go
looks like the language
is slowly downward drifting
and come this Christmas
you won't see...

Drive
Low flight that bends
The whorling sphere
In whistle-talk bounce-stops
Grass stains that streak
The dimpled-egg sitting white
March! March! On and on

The grade so swiftly weak
Impact flat, deepen, kick
And gently sit up
Arrogant
Free…
Again we meet and dimpled, smiling
You tease me openly to test
Your whistle-talk, marching,...

At long lastHow tensely fraught with nerves was Rory
When entered in the Masters again
Never before there a victory
Rather his efforts had all been in vain
Right there his head had to be OK
To don the green jacket there and then

MasteryIt's a game, that in order to play it well,
Requires strength, and precision with touch.
Where no one would claim to be born with it,
But it's acquired by long hours and such.
While it's mentored and played mostly socially,
The lengthy practice is a solitary pursuit.
When...

I will never flub
I’ve used the right club
Just check out my lie on this play...

The Life and Times of a 'Pro Jock'
His spine curves right, then left
one shoulder lower than another
A hitch and a wobble in his gait
couple shots of whiskey tempt fate
A caddy, he calls himself a ‘pro jock’

As I sauntered along the lush, green golf course fairways, the player ahead slowed to meet me. With a grin, I inquired, "How's your game shaping up today?"
Turning back, he met...

He sighed, “Why, this is no...
