Merry Christmas

For us Minnesota golfers, we are in the midst of Winter's icy cold grip.  I have been a terrible blogger- my last post was in October!!  My new years resolution is to catch up on my blog. 

On this Christmas Eve, I want to reach out and say Merry Christmas to you all.  May you have a safe and happy holiday season and may 2014 be your best year yet!

Here is a poem that Totally Driven shared with me:

In My Hand I Hold A Ball,

White And Dimpled...Rather Small.
Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,

This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.
By Its Size I Could Not Guess
The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.
But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,

I've Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.
My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same
Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.

It Rules My Mind For Hours On End;
A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.

It Has Made Me Curse And Made Me Cry,
And Hate Myself And Want To Die.

It Promises Me A Thing Called Par,
If I Hit It Straight And Far.

To Master Such A Tiny Ball,
Should Not Be Very Hard At All.

But My Desires The Ball Refuses,
And Does Exactly As It Chooses.

It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies,
And Disappears Before My Eyes.
Often It Will Have A Whim,
To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.

With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land,
It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand.

Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul,
If Only It Would Find The Hole.

It's Made Me Whimper Like A Pup,
And Swear That I Will Give It Up.
And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow,

But The Ball Knows ... I'll Be Back Tomorrow.
