We were joined by a local resident for one round of golf

6-footer at 26 years of age. Very good coordination! The club is parallel to the ground
on the back swing

Unlike other impact games
of soccer hockey, tennis you name
it for we often wonder
of soccer hockey, tennis you name
it for we often wonder
The object balls are all hurtling yonder
when it is being kicked or hit
when it is being kicked or hit
But not golf, not one bit!
The ball is stationary it does not move
So says the Golf Pro
So it should be easy to hit.
No, it is not! Not quite right
A precision game highly technical
More mental than physical
But the physical needs to be addressed
For that, one must be Pro advised
Golfers must start with a Golf Pro
The swing is perfected not for show
My son Azhar was 9 years
when he was put through a rigorous
routine with a Pro
He held his own at Sacramento
And did creditably well as a result
To stand on his own against an adult
To stand on his own against an adult
When Pro advised
The swing stays for life
One enjoys the game
That's the aim!!
That's the aim!!

ReplyDeleteYou're right... it's not easy at all.
ReplyDeleteNot easy one bit, my game playing it is complete ummm spit
ReplyDeleteOf course you know I'm smiling, Hank. I golf Tuesday mornings...poorly. But it's so fun just to be outside and enjoy other lousy golfer. It would have been great to start at your son's age. Thanks for this one! His swing looks great, from what I can tell.
