FORE!! — Frank Poland – Lyrics & Music: Golf is notoriously frustrating because it demands flawless physical precision yet guarantees unpredictable results. The game constantly teases players with flashes of perfection – making a great shot keeps you hooked while the endless cycle of mechanical issues, slow play, and mental traps threatens to drive you crazy. After tackling this sport for 30+ years, I surrendered…..no more golf for me!

FORE !
I play golf to rest and clear my mind
Just want to relax and have some fun each time
After only a few holes that I’ve played
I’m questioning my sanity, why I came here today.
.
I kept my eye on the ball with an interlocking grip
And a firm left hand so the club would not slip
I squared my stance making sure I’m lined up right
And kept my head down until the ball was in flight.
.
When I made my swing, I kept my left arm straight
With a full shoulder turn as I shifted my weight
Tried to swing smooth, followed through and that’s the facts
And the most important thing, I remembered to relax.
.
I fought with the bunkers, the sand and the woods
With the greens made peace as best I could
Lost a dozen balls in one single round
To the lakes and creeks and out of bounds.
.
The sand traps are my second home
All the hazards personally know my name
I spin more time hunting golf balls
Than actually playing the game.
.
My backswing was not a pretty sight
I played military golf, left, right, left, right
Occasionally, one in a hundred swing was so pure
Because of that, I was hooked again for sure
With that one swing that was so exact and true
Like a Pro I would see on TV do.
.
So, I came back the very next day, play 18 more
Still thinking my game would return with a roar
I chased a little white ball trying to shoot my age
I ‘ll never be old enough, not even close, just rage!
.
Maybe I should give up this golfing game test
Play miniature golf, shooting my age, that’s a reachable quest
With less rules, frustration and smaller numbers and more fun
Watch Professional Golfers on TV experience the frustration!
frustration!……..frustration!
