I was hitting ***** on the range
Hitting it quite well too
Behind, down, and out

My mantra for good shots

Get behind the ball
Stay down through the shot
And follow out toward the target

There was a light rain falling on the range
I paid my green fees
The pretty blonde lady
Happened to be working in the pro shop
I noticed she had sparkles on her nails
And she was happily crunching on some type of granola bar
What a kind and wonderful lady

There were not many people on the course
I played two *****
Which I am prone to do

I shot a 4 over 40 on the first ball
That is my best score for that course

Golf is a beautiful game
It's tough and hard
It's not fair
There are bad lies

Behind, down and out
I was hitting the ball solid

This is a game I truly love
Just you
And your swing
It is a sacred game

If you play the game
You know what I mean

Such a beautiful feeling
A purely struck shot

The gap wedge from the trap on #6 to about 7 feet
That was a great shot
Out of that heavy wet sand

The long drive on #7
The solid gap wedge from 110 yards
To 9 feet above the hole

On the way home
I yelled out of the car window in triumph
A good ground
Just might be
One of the most fulfilling activities
On earth
