Comment from Pantygynt
This reminded me of my golfing days back in the 1960s. Like you I had a permanent slice in the woods, Then it crept into the lower numbered irons. My favourite shot was a little chip with a No7 iron onto the green.
"When I start slice my No7," I remarked to my opponent that day, "I'm giving this game up and selling my clubs."
One week later Idid and I did and I did!
This most enjoyable little poem proves that one can write poetry about anything.

Thank you Pantygynt. There is always that one good shot amongst all the bad ones that draws me back. That, and I paid the season's green fees in advance to play in my Golf League.
Comment from ravenblack
I golfed once...and beat my friend who was on the high school golf team. Really pissed him off as he kept telling me what clubs to use though I pretty much stuck to a five iron and putter. Rough rider- I can definitely see that.

Thank you ravenblack. I bet he was.
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Though I know almost nothing about golf I found the poem flowed logically and with smooth cadence.
The rhyme is effective and precise and well suited to the topic.
I liked the story in a poem style.

Thank you Shirley. I had just explained to my opponent about Fanstory and my books. He said it must be hard to come up with ideas for poems. I said yes. On the last hole, when I hit that shot, everybody in the 4some commented on how it curved over the rough and landed beautifully in the fairway. So, he said, "Why don't your write a poem about it." So, I did.

My aunt and uncle are avid golfers, and though I don't play, they make it sound like the greatest game in the world. You do an excellent job of getting that feeling across.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Picture shows man playing golf. Notes imply readers do not know much about the game of golf. Poem describes what happens when the player hit the ball.

Comment from rod007
Both your knowledge of golf and your poem is excellent. It looks like that was a brilliant drive--two hundred and twenty yards to fairway--not bad. Well done, Tom.

I'll have to call you Teddy from now on! Thanks for the glossary and photo of the fairway. I enjoyed your quatrains and rhyme scheme and felt I was on the course. The "glider" simile was very effective as well. Four! -Joan

Comment from cbat
Fun, good rhyming.
I also appreciated your explanation of golf, as I have never played.
How can I say more about something I have never done?
Your ability to describe so realistic is great.
I hope you keep writing.
