Pressure Of The Open

game for athletes
no 40 yard dash
strength needed
skills sharpened
how hard can
it be
hitting ball
not moving

baseball
make contact
basketball
bank it
football blitz

you and the ball
golf
play it
where it lies
penalty
you call
cheating none
they will know
all about trust

pro know
pressure
mental crumbling
mind not sure
all have shots
must be clear
in the lead
nipping at heels
roar of crowd
here comes hero
be the one

each shot counts
winning
money
not guaranteed
thursday friday
play good
or go home
slam the trunk

got the lead
its the open
I'm the man
one more shot
all my life
no doubts
sink it
at last

rush of feelings
where is loved one
shaking hands
sign the card
get the check
hoist the trophy
how it feels
winner at last

Would be nice especially the trophy and check part.

Never having won or indeed competed in a tournament, Cow can only dream...

Moo!

Moo,
I play once in awhile and make the sometimes good shot one might see on TV. They make it on command. The skill level and the mental part of the game, is on a planet I don't live on!
