"The Start of Golf Season"


"The Start of Golf Season"


I have played golf for the past three years

And now it is my final season

Of playing this sport that I love so much

And enjoy for so many reasons

 

In this sport you compete with other teams

However, you don’t come in contact with anyone

Therefore, you’re just looking to beat yourself

And take fewer strokes than any you’ve done

 

I was also surprised with new clubs for Christmas

I was so happy I practiced with them right away

My swing was great and I was hitting the ball straight

A promising season for me was on its way

 

This was until a couple of weeks in

I began to see a slice in my swing form

If I kept hitting the ball to the right

Then my best game won’t be what I perform

 

I was able to catch some one on one time

With my coaches at practice one day

They told me my wrists weren’t rolling over

This was making my ball go the wrong way

 

They taught me a trick to help my wrists roll over

Separate my first finger from the rest

This helped me automatically

Fix my swing and help me play my best

 

With opening day coming on Tuesday

I can’t wait to start counting up my scores

With my swing fixed and ready to go

Low numbers is what I’m hoping for.

  1. I loved this poem! Even though track is entirely different, I can definitely relate to the importance of this sports season since it's our last one! I really enjoyed your detailed description of the problem you were having with your swing, and I'm glad you fixed it. Good luck on Tuesday and with the rest of your season! :)
