Why I like Golf

I like golf because

I just don’t care.

Which is odd because

I care about a lot of things.

I play nine holes,

Sometimes twelve, rarely eighteen.

With running or cycling or swimming,

I always wanted to run faster and farther,

I still keep track of every detail.

With golf I don’t keep score,

I would lose count.

There are too many rules,

So I ignore them.

In spite of that,

I am getting better.

It’s very relaxing,

And most of all,

I enjoy the company.
