A Golf Widow’s Muse

golf poem

Golf can be addictive to say the least and while us golfers think that after the golfing bug has bitten, a life of toiling away on the fairways, trying to get a little white ball into an impossibly small hole is perfectly normal, there are others who don’t quite understand the obsession…below we have a fantastic poem sent in by the wife, or golf widow in this case, of one of our loyal customers.

 

A Golf Widow’s Muse! 

 

“I’m thinking of thinking of taking up golf,”

I was told.

“It’ll be good exercise and I can play

Till I’m old.”

“I can play when I’m not at work,

On a spare day.”

“I’m sure there’ll not be a lot

To pay.”

“So what will you need to get started?”

I say.

“Oh not much,” he replies, “for me

Just to play.”

Fifteen years later, the time

Has just flown.

And the “not much,”

Has certainly grown!

Sets of irons, and putters,

And drivers.

Sand wedges, pitching wedges

And ball retri(e)vers.

A rescue club and

Fairway woods.

Bags, towels, pitch repairers, ball markers, tees,

All those goods.

Soft balls, hard balls, and of course

PRO V 2’s and 1.

A distance finder, mmm…..

That’s fun!

Electric trolley with

Lithium battery.

Oh, and club covers,

Usually furry!

Golf trousers, jumpers, shorts, shirts,

Socks and shoes.

All logoed of course, no wonder

I have the blues!

Wet gear, brolly, winter

And summer hat.

You’d think by now, that

That’s that!!

No….Club membership, golf days,

And green fees.

Then of course golfing weekends,

And trips overseas.

And so – from HIS love of

This game of golf.

Has there been anything

For myself?

Well! Control of the remote, a day or so

For a shopping spree.

A week here or there, to do

My own thing – freeee!!

And especially wonderful spa pampering with

“Your Golf Travel” – for me.

On golf/spa breaks at wonderful locations

like Ufford Park,

 Old Thorns, And Breadsall Priory. t

BUT I have to say, all in all,

In the end.

The BEST I’ve gained is a whole

Bunch of Friends.
