For me, poetry is a lot about having fun with words and ideas. That is how I would describe my new book, Opposites in Golf, which consists of a series of 32 poems where each takes a golf related term and uses rhyme and reason to search for its opposite. Here is an example from the book,
HOME AND AWAY
The opposite of away is home;
That wouldn’t crack a putter’s dome.
But if you’re away and in a match,
Then I would say there is a catch.
You putt first and so recast,
The opposite of away is last.
The poetry is simple, funny and wise and turns the language of golf on its head. It’s meant for golf enthusiasts looking for a different but rewarding and unique golf-related experience. Just the antidote for a bad shot or a bad round. The book is small enough to stick in a golf bag, but smart enough not to be left there.
Opposites in Golf is now available on Amazon, Amazon in the United Kingdom, Amazon France, and other European countries. It sells for $4.50. Please take a look for the fun of it.
Wonderful!!! As a retired golfer with no consistency, I had forgotten how much
I really missed that early morning stroll with others lilke myself.
What a frustrating game!!!
Congrats on the book. Will definitely get it. There’s a dearth of good golf books poetry included.
Thanks. Hope you enjoy it. It was fun to write.
