Cool metal slides across my fingers
The grip comfortable in my hands
The sun beating down

My polo is crisp
My skirt is clean
My hat blocks the sun and keeps my hair straight

Step up in the box
Stabbing the tee into the ground
Setting the little, white ball in its perch

Make my stand
Look down the fairway
Take my swing

The gentle ping
The ball is sent soaring
Softly landing on the green

One putt to go
Tap it smoothly
Hear the plunk of game well played
