First Time On The Course Poem by WES Vogler
First Time On The Course
(preface)
He thought he'd take up the game of golf
although he had never really witnessed it.
His alotted partner was amazed when he
said it was his first time. When queried
he was told to put the ball on a tee and
see how close he could come to the flag
300 feet away. He took an unfamiliar
driver and whacked the ball which soared
majestically to the green, rolling to a stop
just inches short of the flag.
"And so what's the next thing I'm to do? "
"Well, the ball's sposed to go in the hole."
"For heaven's sakes... now you tell me!
How damnably... dreadfully... droll."

The first time I played golf, I had one shot where the ball was about a foot off the green. I lined up my putt and the ball went straight to the flag and bounced about four feet away. " Can I count that? " " No, it has to go in the hole." So then I putted past the hole four or five more times before it finally went in!
never really had the patience ... five pin bowling was my thing Dad and I won city championship once and the money and trophy were absconded with. Ah well
