White Ball Poem
Here is a little bit of golf humor for you on this dreary Wednesday morning.... 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 feel 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 swear and yell and cry....I hate myself and want to die.... It promises a thing called par....If I can hit 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 like it chooses.... It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies.....and even disappears before my eyes.... Often it will take a whim.....to hit a tree or take a swim.... With miles of grass on which to land....its finds a tiny patch of sand... Then has me offering up my soul....if only it would find the hole.... Its made me whimper like a pup....and swear that I will give it up... And take a drink to ease my sorrow....but the ball knows.....I'll be back tomorrow....

Letterman's Top Ten with Immelman
Since the Master's is right around the corner we thought we would share some humor today and bring back the Top Ten list from David Letterman read by Trevor Immelman after he won the Master's Golf Tournament.....Enjoy!!! 10. I've been elevated from "Unknown" to "Obscure" 9. Thanks to the prize money, I no longer have to buy generic rootbeer 8. Suddenly I don't look too foolish for trademarking "Immelmania" 7. I am BFFs with Lauren and Heidi from The Hills 6. President Bush called to congratulate me on winning Wimbledon 5. When my caddy recommends a club I can say, Excuse me how many Masters have you won? 4. Invited to Masters Winners Week on Jeopardy 3. I get a liftime supply of them little pencils 2. Guess who's playing 36 holes with the Pope this weekend? 1. Get to put my arm around Tiger Woods and say, Maybe next year. Have a great day everyone.

Born to Golf - Forced to Work
In our last blog we discussed getting our clubs ready to go for the golf season. Based on the winter that we just had all of you die hards probably already have your clubs ready to go and are just itching for some good spring weather to get out and tee it up.
Before you do that you might want to take a lesson, Even just a single one to help shake the rust off of things. Virtually every course that you go to offers lessons from qualified professionals. The typical lesson ranges from 30 minutes to an hour and sometimes include on course instructional time. Prices vary depending on the club and location but shop around to ensure you find the price that you are comfortable with.
If you haven't picked up your clubs since last fall it would be a good idea go out and hit the practice range, take a lesson just to make sure that you have not picked up any bad habits over the winter months and get you back on track faster and shooting those low scores. Golf is a challenging and expensive game but the upside is anyone can have fun when they go out to play a round of golf.
One of my favorite quotes from the Legend of Bagger Vance..."Golf is a game that can never be won....only played". When you think about it this is quite true. Golf in its truest form is simple an individual contest where you are pushing and working to see just how low you can go. There is no score you reach and you automatically win it is all about just shooting the lowest you can.
So start your season off right and get back into the swing of things the right way.
