If I Were A Golf Ball
It Is our nature to pretend –
to break the boredom of our day.
And on this habit, we depend
to chase our blues away.

At such time I wondered then,
through really off-the-wall,
of all the things I’ve never been.
and one’s a golfer’s ball!

A golf ball sure! it’s got it made,
that dimpled spheroid on the tee.
It sits and rest until it’s played
and that’s the life for me!

I’ll take the blow and spin and rise
to view the course below,
And settle in to grassy lies
Until again I go.

And on that note, I quickly stalled
and a saner thought prevailed.
For clearly if the stroke was flawed -
my fantasy would fail.

I could be skulled and cut clean through.
I could be eating dirt.
I might be plugged in Doggy doo
and end up worse than hurt.

Or buried deep beneath the lip
of traps yet to be seen.
Or take an unexpected dip
in waters quite unclean.

I’d be zipped up and put away
with smelly gloves and then -
slammed in a trunk some summer day
to cook within my skin!

I could be lost and all alone
for days and days on end.
And if I’m found, it should be known-
I could be lost again.

So, for this dream, I think I’ll chuck it.
With happening so strange,
I’ll end up striped, and in a bucket
at someone’s driving range.

For Immediate Implementation January 2021-- USGA
New 2021 Rule Changes for golfers Age 65+

Rule 9k.34– If a tree is between the ball and the hole, and the tree is deemed to be younger than the player, then the ball can be moved without penalty. This is so, because this is simply a question of timing; when the player was younger, the tree was not there so the player is being penalized because of his age.

Rule 1.a.5– A ball sliced or hooked into the Rough shall be lifted and placed on the Fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the Rough with no penalty. The senior player should not be penalized for tall grass which ground keepers failed to mow.

Rule 2.d.6– A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed NOT to have hit the tree. This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The senior player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree, and play the ball from there.

Rule 3.B.3– There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone else, thereby making it a stolen ball. The senior player is not to compound the felony by charging himself with a penalty.

Rule 4.c.7– If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The Law of Gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf.

Rule 5. – Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the Hole. No one wants to make a mockery of the game.

Rule 6.a.9– There is no penalty for so-called "out of bounds". If penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The senior player deserves an apology, not a penalty.

Rule 7.G.15– There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. Senior players should not be penalized for any shortcomings of the manufacturers.

Rule 8.k.9– Advertisements claim that golf scores can be improved by Purchasing new golf equipment Since this is financially impractical for many senior players, one-half stroke per hole may be subtracted for using old equipment.

Rule 13.b.4—Any misplayed shot caused by others, due to circumstances beyond your control, or that you feel was not your fault may be replayed without penalty.

Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes
and keep multiple copies in your golf bag. Those not following the
rules need to be provided a copy.

Golf is...above all...a game of integrity.
