Mortadella

Posted on By admindavid

We sat on a bluff shielded from the setting sun by trees, and umbrellas,
overlooking the olive grove thru sylvan vapours the color of the Mediterranean
on a hazy day
having antipasti & prosecco instead of dinner.
“This mortadella,” she said, stacking a cracker, “is to DIE for!”

One reason one might not play golf alone

On Harbor Lights #3 today, I had 4 feet for a side-hill, right-to-left par.
I was confident, I’ve missed that putt many times before,
and indeed, this one hit the low-side-edge of the hole
and lipped-out on the high side, an inch away.
As I bent down to pick it up with an oath on my lips
the ball rolled back into the cup

And the tragedy of playing alone
on this sunny, Ides of November day
Is having no one to witness it.
