A Poem for the Real Golfer - Includes Proper Golf Shoes
An Ode to Real Golfers by Aussie Golfer, which I foundon his blog site. I guess this is borne of a frustration with the non “real golfer”.My only sin is to ask if it’s a par four or a par five on courses with which I’m unfamiliar. i hope I’d be forgiven that one.
One other query for our Aussie poet is whether “Athletic” golf shoes count as “real”?
Finally, I’m sorry about the predictable picture used to illuustrate this post.
Real golfers clean grooves and know what GUR means
Real golfers have golf shoes and don’t play in jeans
Real golfers don’t hate courses just because they’ve played poor
Real golfers don’t ask “Is this is a par 5 or 4?”
Real golfers play promptly and make measured “Fore!” calls
Real golfers love golf gear but not fluoro balls
Real golfers have pencils and gladly keep score
Real golfers never play in groups of five or more
Real golfers have an idea where their ball’s to be found
Real golfers fix plugmarks and yearn for four hour rounds
Real golfers will walk and often dress like fools
Real golfers always know and play by the rules
by Michael Green, Aussie Golfer
