Ace Number 4 at the Fairmont Southampton Bacardi Championship, March 2011, on the 2nd hole. Dad always liked me in red.....<\/p><\/div>\n

One day while playing, being held up by men<\/p>\n

The talk turned to aces…….how many, and when?<\/p>\n

Thirty years in the game, how long must I wait?<\/p>\n

Dad (Buck) and two brothers, between them had eight.<\/p>\n

My partner that day, hypontherapist Zoe<\/p>\n

Simple answers supplied, “In the hole, see it go!”<\/p>\n

Nice misses nor close, quite simply, won’t do<\/p>\n

‘In the cup’ is your mantra…….you must visualize too!<\/p>\n

Ten days soon passed, to the State Am I went<\/p>\n

My mind strong and full, my gaze was intent.<\/p>\n

And there on 11,\u00a0the match stood 3-up<\/p>\n

My\u00a0191-yard 2-iron sailed into the cup!<\/p>\n

The goosebumps arose, my heart filled with love<\/p>\n

For golf, life, and family, other gifts from above;<\/p>\n

The quest for an ace, not so much mine, you see<\/p>\n

But rather for Dad who sacrificed all…… for me.<\/p>\n

His fondest desire for this daughter he taught<\/p>\n

Was leaving the ranks of aces holed at naught;<\/p>\n

The best thing to happen, far more than that too<\/p>\n

Was the phone call beginning, ‘Guess what, Buckaroo?<\/p>\n

Yes, the quest for an ace is an arduous task<\/p>\n

Like searching for love, you get what you ask;<\/p>\n

Eighteen years later the count stands at four<\/p>\n

With Dad up in Heaven, I know there’ll be more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
