I played at least once a week until May 8th of this year. My knee was shot, grinding bone on bone, but that day it swelled up a lot and turned red.<br /><br />On July 18th I had a complete left knee joint replacement and haven't played golf since. I may not as I want this new knee to last for the rest of my life. Mrs. Jim plays at least twice a week with her buds.<br />http://jimmiehov6.blogspot.com/2011/11/one-single-impression-birdie.html<br />..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-53748075168906976952011-11-10T07:37:19.223-08:002011-11-10T07:37:19.223-08:00Nanka,

So I have copied/pasted here my comment from Limericks.<br /><br />"What a finish! That looks professional. But, believe it or not, about forty years ago I earned myself the distinction of doing a hole-in-one. What I have today, in pleasant memory of the great fluke, is just a small cup with an old ball resting inside a small egg cup trophy for the fluke. It is a treasure I keep in my sitting room, ready to be proudly displayed to golfing visitors.

The right technique makes it easy.<br /><br />Oceangirl - 'Hole #5 and the pond as trap' you got your jargon correct. Wonder which club was it? The snapshot was at Kajang Hill Golf Club way back in 1995. And Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to you Oceangirl and family (we were in Seremban for our qurban)<br /><br />Pat & Yvonne - Appreciate your positive comments. Seeing the game can be just as breath-taking especially if keenly contested.<br /><br />Brian - Par 3 golf is great to hone the skills for the short game.Many started that way and became very good at it!<br /><br />Dave - You should be a great golfer by now if you had followed your late Dad during his rounds. Are you now into golf?<br /><br />MZen - Try it,yes! I've seen many who started late even in their 40s and still became good golfers!<br /><br />Hankkaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-83732793668739248192011-11-07T09:27:03.594-08:002011-11-07T09:27:03.594-08:00Would you believe that I've never played golf?...Would you believe that I've never played golf?

Well I must say I know nothing about golf other than we live at hole 5 or something with the pond as the trap. I guess golf has been given in a bad wrap in some ways, but your poem explains it so clearly and so beautifully. I like the colors of your outfit!

But I knew a lot of avid golfers and truly appreciate the game and those who seriously play it.
