His great dream in his fifties is to emulate his son <br />Who was lucky enough to score a hole in one <br />Which is something in golf that is quite rare indeed <br />Where many do fail few can hope to succeed <br />A far better golfer than his son it is said <br />By those in the know who rate the ageing golfer ahead <br />Of anyone else in the local golf club <br />I only say here what I hear in the pub <br />From the local amateur golfers who enjoy their weekend game <br />Who play for the love of it not for the fame <br />As a golfer the young man in his twenties with his dad can't compare <br />For the father indeed is a far better player <br />But the father has yet to hit a hole in one <br />And on that score alone 'tis one up for the son.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ageing-golfer-s-dream/
