GOLF: THE REAL STORY

Golf - the mystery of holes in the ground

smoothed to within an inch of its life

soft dreams

tiny ball hard hit

      that's about it

 

oh! I nearly forgot

the nineteenth hole

      scene of many a deal

done with sweaty hands

and in oak - lined rooms

where men can be men

 old sorties are relived

 

oh! and I nearly forgot

the fees,  a fine

for not staying at home

for the heart is where the head

tries to get round

those soft dreams of

tiny ball hard hit

      that's really about it

 

Oh! I nearly forgot

to mention the shop

now I promise to stop.

I call these endeavours museums of inspiration Ledger. Nothing new and all offering the Trump version of ecstasy and frustration in equal measure. Glad to hear of your relief.

Thanks for troubling. Ray

Ha! good one Ray,

By the way, I'd always thought that once a person got golf it was pretty much incurable-nothing could be done for the poor buggers. So as you can imagine, I was devastated when one of my younger brothers started showing signs of it. But after a few years he came out of it with no apparent after effects: that was about ten years ago and he seems to be fine now.
