The "fairway in the sky" is a lovely metaphor. The tribute resonates with happy memories for the "family circle". I enjoyed the rhyme scheme as well.

I'm not a golfer, but still for this day I anticipate.

Great work. Creative flow on Idea!

I like the rhyming structure. Light, but yet a definite life change.

Oh, this is sad but beautiful. You created a lovely heaven for the one in question, with very descriptive imagery. The lines flowed well, giving the overall impression of great writing.

This contest is going to be tough. I loved your poem and it had great rhythm. I never would have thought of golf as a life changing event but I do get the message of your poem. Very nicely done and the photo is perfect. Good Luck with the contest.

This is beautiful and very, very sad. Brought a tear to my eye. You've certainly written of a huge life changing event - with perfect rhymes and great flow. A great entry to the contest. Good luck.

I love your vision of eternal life for one who meant so much to you as one where he spends his time in a perfect round of golf, an activity obviously close to his heart - there is a generosity of spirit in your vision - nice cadence and strong rhymes enhance the message. Brooke

I enjoyed your poem, Kathy, although I have never in my life golfed and don't know a thing about it. But what fond memories you have of a loved one who this sport meant a lot to, and who was obviously very good at it. It is so nice when family members enjoy doing things like this together.

My husband is an avid golfer! Every March he gets very antsy and usually travels with a bunch of his buddies from the club to southern climes to play before our local club opens in May! This was a perfect golfer's heaven piece!
