Grantland Rice, in his book, the duffer’s handbook of golf, includes a page of humorous “sayings” under the title, “Short Approaches.” I took two of them, “If at first you don’t succeed, try looking at the ball,” and “He who swings and lifts his head, will say things better left unsaid,” and made four line verses out of them.
GOLF OR BOWLING
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try looking at the ball.
But if that doesn’t work for you
Try bowling or the crawl.
NOT FOR ATTRIBUTION
He who swings and lifts his head
Will say things better left unsaid.
He whose putting’s for the birds
Will likely echo the former’s words.
If you would like to try your hand at extending a Twine (a two line poem), try the following:
To be in the hole and not in a rut
With a short one left, don’t rush your putt.
Add a comment with your finishing two lines and thanks.
Golf Course of Rhymes 
And don’t wait an hour…..
Or your putt will turn sour!
And if your putt is a touch downhill,
This advice is better still.

In other words, please take your time–
Allign your putts and make them rhyme.
