Cheap Golf
There is a golf course 13 miles away from me
It's called Cole Acres
I went there in October a few years back
I went to the house that was close to the clubhouse
I asked the owner how much for golf
He said 15 bucks and all the golf you can play with a cart
I played four rounds on this nine hole course
It has a layout of pars like this
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
5 4 3 4 4 3 5 4 4
There is one pond by the right side of the 9th fairway
I played one round from the women's teebox
I played one round with a 7 iron all shots
Just like in the movie Tin Cup
I tried to play one round with just a putter
My arms got tired so I gave up on that idea
The last round I played a shot from just off the green
It was getting dark by then
That round lasted about 15 minutes
Just me and the golf course all to myself
In golf the cheaper the course the more elbow room you have
Especially in October

About this poem:
I haven't been able to golf as much as I like lately. I paid for one round last year and got three from family and a friend. I used to be his big buddy and now he sells cell phones and is making something like five grand a month, probably more now. All I know is he makes more than teachers make, and in my book, that's a lot!Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
