The Game Out of the bag pulling out the club with it’s soft grip and long shaft leading down to the oversized head Completely clearing mind while addressing the ball centered on the front of the clubs face ever so reaching at arms length with club fully extended While slowly bring the club back keeping knees bent and arms straight reaching back Then with all force bringing the club down to the ball and with greatest impact the ball releases from the tee In awe as the flight down the fairway knowing that all thoughts were released in mind except with the game The game of Golf A smile a day keeps the world in smile's. |

Ah, Golf, a game of true skill where teas arn't on the table ! A brilliant tribute to 'The Game' . Nice poem, thanks . L.of.L. Tommy . XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 'There is only a very thin line between genius and insanity, this is measured only on sucess; I am proud to be considered an under-achieving genius'. |

Never played golf, but I can see from your poem that it could take all of your attention. Very well said. Joyce |

Great job here Bernie! The slow detailed description of concentration reminded me of those quiet "golf commentators"---would read nicely aloud that way! Proud of ya!  |

Sea, Thanks for reading, and alot of people do think that game is goofy...But hopefully into a different perspective now. Angelswing, Thanks for reading, the noon tee will never be the same. Joyce, And your right, it takes one's full attention. LOL thanks for reading. Serenity, It's amazing what one can write when they think about it.. Think those ABC comentators would like a copy....LOL. Thanks for reading. Thanks for reading all, i was having fun with this one. A smile a day keeps the world in smile's. |
