"Just When Feeling Out of It"



Chuck has been able to play since January – 1-2 holes from 100 yards in. With the help of his Visiting Angel (since he’s not allowed to go anywhere alone) he got out to the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Golf Club – Trident Lakes – to play one hole.

Results:

Today about 1120 on the 16th hole a lone cart pulled up next to the gold tees. There was an assigned driver (Visiting Angel) named Hector (never been on a golf course before). The O2 wearing golfer got up out of the cart – took a couple of waggles with his 9 hybrid – hit the ball – everyone was amazed first ball hit since January – and landed on the right side of the green!! Leaving about a 25’ putt toward center of the green. His first putt was about 8’ short but second right in the center of the hole. Since the pros don’t seem to be pulling pins he did leave the pin in. Much to his amazement – and Hector’s – he got back in the cart – they drove back to the club house and this O2 golfer was completely exhausted. Just thought you’d like to know. I get to do this 2x a month if I’m up to it. Smile - chuck

“Just When Feeling Out of It”

Sometimes to weary to walk
from bedside to bathroom
from study to the kitchen
from computer to the bed
full cycle some days is none
then the light of sun shines
old memories of days gone
out on the golf course again
seeing old friends once more
better yet to play just one hole
green in regulation (par 3)
two putt for a true par
then completely worn out
but it happened maybe again
just when feeling out of it!
