950.0. "Golf Poetry" by CASPRO::BELFORTI () Fri May 18 1990 15:29

                               Hacker
    
                       It is a bright and sunny day,
                       And off to the golf course, you shall play,
                       Driving the ball far off tees,
                       In hopes of putting for birdies,
    
                       But on this day, your game is off track,
                       And suddenly you begin to hack,
                       And then you start to thinking back,
                       To why you bought your clubs off the rack,
    
                       And then you realize that you're a hacker,
                       Who hacks his way from trees to traps,
                       And your game is not a factor,
                       And you're getting tired of this crap.

950.3Poem Based On Personal ExperienceCASPRO::BELFORTIThu May 24 1990 10:0313
    No, this poem is not about you but based on my personal experience
    as a hacker.
    
    Luckily, I am having a good year this year. Last year, I was awful.
    I have taken a new approach to the game. My approach this year
    is to play the course not your opponent. This seems to help
    alot especially when there is a wagering going on. Don't let your
    nerves get to you but play a calm and leisurely game. Over the
    long run, it will pay off.

950.8Golf verse?ODIXIE::WESTCLGator GolferThu May 31 1990 18:1615
    I practice and practice those short little putts
    And make them all on my rug with no cups.
    
    -------------
    
    The swing was perfect,
    The approach was bold,
    It's in the leather!
    By yesterday's hole.

    O.K...., so I'm no poet.

950.9With Apologies to Clint,Casey, Edgar, Alice and the BardSIOUXI::BREENThu May 31 1990 18:3725
    		NO DAY AT THE BEACH
    
The sun was sinining mightily, shining with all its might.
I was frowning sulkily because I thought it wasn't right
That I be home with the wife and one year old son Phil,
Instead of at Green Meadow (or maybe Juniper Hill).

The Walrus and Tom Watson are out playing in the sand.
So I said to my neighbor, "Gee wouldn't it be grand
If I could grab my clubs and slip out the back door;
And a voice cried out (sounds like my wife) - NEVERMORE.

Have mercy on me I cried in vain, the weather is so fair,
And all week long I've spent my time cooped up in my chair.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, I'll mow, I'll rake, I'll slave away.
"Go ahead" she said, "Go play golf. Go ahead, MAKE MY DAY."

Somewhere in New Hampshire a foursome tees it up.
Somewhere duffers slice and hook and others lip the cup.
Somewhere there's a deck to paint, somewhere a lawn to mow.
For there is no joy in Bill's backyard, the BBGA* says NO!
