Crisp air hangs, first lights dew

Creeping frost teases delight

Under blankets of vivid blue.

Powdered greens awake from night

Welcoming, players eagerly await

Coffee in hand, weapons steel bright

Spikes clatter, rushing late.

Ready for bullets and a fight,

Any shooter could relate

Hunger driver, ready for battle

Steps anticipation to plate.

Frost lifts, a head of cattle

Form according to slate,

Frost delayed, times tight

Tee to green in ready state

Warriors ready with might.

Fierce steps, covered with dew

Last traces of frost despite

Steps the leather'd shoe,

Sticks ready, a game fight

Player or course? Stalemate.
