Golf Sucks

Well done Rory McIlroy - our latest Tiger Woods

Or our newest Nicklaus - like them, he's got the goods.

Won another major yesterday - and in the dark.

Makes golf look sooo easy; like he's strolling in the park.

I went golfing yesterday and easy it was not.

Driver off the tee at 1...  A pretty decent shot.

Finished triple bogie 'cause I cannot make a putt.

Mr. S. got better as we played; he kicked my butt.

Go ask Woods or Bubba if they think the game's a snap.

Tiger didn't make the cut and Watson played like crap.

Go ask Phil or Fowler if they think that golf is fun;

Losing to this Irish kid beneath a setting sun.

Why do people play this game?  It only breaks our heart.

Why do pros not warn us of the perils at the start?

Now I have to hit the range and then the putting green

Because, yesterday - in awful golf - I was the Queen.

Happy Fathers' Day

 I don't envy fathers.  I wouldn't want their jobs

(Meaning those who do it right and not the worthless slobs).

Those who haul their tired butts up off the couch and go

Off to coach their children's teams - despite the ice and snow.

Those who do their part each day to keep the family fed,

Make the efforts to insure that their kids get ahead.

I've been very fortunate; the fathers that I know?

Every day there's something makes my admiration grow.

Husband, brother, father, and my sister's husband, too;

Their kids have it pretty good.  I hope that's true for you...

Hoping that your off-spring wash your car or mow your lawn

Giving you a little peace...  The U.S. Open's on.

Tiger's looking dangerous - I'm sure he'll make the cut.

Bubba and Phil Mickelson are way behind now, but

Watson's a new father and - as fathers can attest -

Best way to be celebrating Sunday?  Get some rest.
