Introduction

Amateur athletes tend to exaggerate their strengths, minimize their weaknesses, and focus exclusively on successes however modest. In no sporting endeavor is this more prevelant than the world of the occasional golfer.

The Golfing Phenomenon

I shot sixty six today.
Everything seemed to click.
The drives were long, the putts true.
My swing was unerring and slick.

I may enter a tournament soon.
The pros will feel the pressure.
Opponents will sing a woeful tune
While I grin like a Cheshire.

If I can maintain this torrid pace
Fame will surely be mine.
I may even shoot for the full eighteen
What I shot today for nine.
