Target, and aim Easy shot Straight and narrow Feet planted, slight tail wind Feels good Don’t let the club face turn over Setup, impact – Yes! NO! Get Down! Get Down! … Ok…deep breath… now Hands ahead of the ball Flat left wrist Slow and easy Take club back Shoulders square Let gravity take over Down and through Slice… *hacker* Hhhhhmm… Position ball on front instep don’t forget to breathe Hands too tight sweaty Flagstick! Flagstick, flagstick who’s got the flagstick? Oh sweet Par Dreaded Nemesis My pagan God I just need to make this putt. ------------------ "Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with." *Mark Twain* |

I must say , (a bit embaressed) I enjoy watching golf, and this is the first poem EVER I've seen about the thoughts inside a golfer's head! Very interesting!! Nice job! Nearly got me cheering!! ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |

LOL...thank you both.  I was inspired by my younger brother, trying to teach me how to golf. I've heard all the 'horror' stories!  ------------------ "Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with." *Mark Twain* |

Satiate, you must know a lot about golf because these thoughts are right on! There is a bit more pleading, begging, and groveling involved but you captured the fear-induced checklist of doom beautifully! |

This was clever ... at least you were praying to your gods and not taking their names in vain like many golfers I know ... I loved it, and I don't even like golf!  ) |

satiate lol - that was great - especially the GET DOWN part - been there so many times that, back in the early 80's, I single-handedly made golf balls an endangered species. |

I'm glad you liked it Long John! I think some members of my family helped you a tad with the grand golf ball extinction...in fact...there is actually a golf ball embedded in a tree somewhere on the back 40 of my parents' property. Along with hundreds of other 'lost souls'...lol------------------ "Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with." *Mark Twain* |
