The Masters is where I won my first major, and I view this tournament with great respect. After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta.

break down racist stereotypes in Japan,
the Augusta Masters
and everywhere else he goes.
Now, Tiger, please stand
up for the right of women golfers
to play everywhere.

invite black players til 1975,
nor allow blacks into the country club
til 1990. The Masters still
does not allow women to play.)

Eisenhower
We are all creatures of the age into
which we were born.
Eisenhower let millions of Russians
die fighting the Nazis in 1942 and 1943.
He ordered cats shot on the White House
grounds.
He for many years patronized the segregating
sands of the Augusta George country club
which hosts the golf masters' tournament.
And yet if he were born in the last 18 years,
he probably would be involved in no violence.

Gettin Ready For Love
(tom snow/frannie golde)
I sit by the telephone
Waiting for you to call me
And when Im alone in the night
The blues start to fall on me
Baby, Im waiting for you
And all thats on my mind
Is what i'm gonna do
My friends say Im crazy
And Im wasting my time on you
Im breaking the rules
And Im way out of line its true
Baby, one night with you
And theyd be goin crazy too
Im getting ready for love
Brand new start
Heres my heart
Im getting ready for love
I can feel
This time its real
All I keep thinkin about
Is the way that you do to me
Baby, the wonder of you
Has made the wonderful come true
Im getting ready for love
Brand new start
Heres my heart
Im getting ready for love
I can feel
This time its real
Im under your spell
Of that Im sure
You can tell
Sailin along on a breeze
Ooh, Im flying
Ooh, Im skying
Im getting ready for love
Brand new start
Heres my heart
Im getting ready for love
I can feel
This time its real
Im getting ready for love
Yes, I am
Yes, I am

My Child's Tournament of Chess
High preparations
Great apprehensions
Last minute advises
Hope for celebrations
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Reaching the venue on time
Dying to know the opponent's name
Waiting for the match to commence
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Win or lose?
Life gets stuck
No mood to stroll
Hauling the mind
out of the chess hall
That's my child's tournament of chess.
My child starts appearing vulnerable
The opponent appears unbeatable
Praying for the win of my race horse
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Makes me meet all my weak emotions
Fear, jealousy, worry and doubt
challenge my sense of spiritualization
My mind gives me premonitions
That's my child's tournament of chess.
Gifts me a chance to become strong
A chance to climb up the emotional ladder,
for what I so long
A chance to look at the opponent as my own child
Pray for both to play their best
That's my child's tournament of chess.
My child's tournament of chess
allows me to understand
the meaning of failure
Two faces of the same coin,
success is no different from failure
Both are the part of the same destination with no comparison
Who can tell which is more important the Moon or the Sun.
My love for my child shall remain the same
Performance is no benchmark for the same
Win or loss, loss or win,
I will always love him
Whatever be the result
of my child's tournament of chess.

Tell It To My Heart
(seth swirsky, earnie gold)
I feel the night explode when were together.
Emotion overload in the heat of pleasure.
Take me Im yours into your arms.
Never let me go.
Tonight I really need to know.
Tell it to my heart
Tell me Im the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
The passions so complete. its neverending.
As long as I receive, the message youre sending.
Body to body, soul to soul
Always feel you near.
So say the words I long to hear.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me Im the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
Love, love on the run, breaking us down,
Though we keep holding on.
I dont want to lose, no I cant let you go.
Tell it to my heart.
Tell me Im the only one.
Is this really love or just a game?
Tell it to my heart.
I can feel my body rock every time you call my name.
Tell it to my heart. tell me from the start. tell it to my heart.
Tell it to my heart. tell me from the start. tell it to my heart.
Never make it stop. oh, take it to the heart.
Tell it to my heart...

I would say you feel a lot more pressure at a national tournament than a state tournament. This is more of a fun weekend out with the guys. The national tournament is more business.

Zinnedine Zidane
One of the all time great players a head butt to an opponents chest caused him shame
And with such a cloud hanging over him he retires from the World game
A magician with the soccer ball his likes we may not see again
He will always be remembered as the great Zinnedine Zidane.
'Twas an alleged personal insult that got him all fired up
And with his dismissal went the great dream of France's second World cup
But he will be remembered and football fans will long recall
One of the all time masters of the World game of football.
For one moment of loss of self discipline he must wear a lifetime taint
But is there one amongst us who can claim to be a saint
You will not find many people despite what some might say
Who will turn the other cheek and from insult walk away.
For his skills a lasting impression on so many he did make
And his deeds on the football field from him one cannot take
He will always be remembered as an all time great
In the World game of football with the very best he rate.

Were Ready

The feelin now that Im beside you
Well open the door
Do anything that we decide to
And I know that theres something thats just out of sight
And I feel like Im finally seeing the light
Holdin on girl I know its right

To simplify a change of season
And I feel like its time we were off on our way
We can go so much farther than weve come today
Holdin on girl and come what may

Drifting stars above the high trees
Recognise, see its own destiny
And all the reasons to believe
Our future from tonight is through
Im talking to you...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here....
Ocean sounds below the high seas
Understand, listen to how we feel
Its the circle of our dreams
Touch me now or set me free
Im talking to you...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...
The fire in our hearts
We have found this perfect glow
Im talking to you...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...
I know you feel the same way
We know the game we we could play
You know theres no turning back
We can start here...
I know you feel the same way

You know theres no turning back

Name Of The Game
No one believes me
Someone conceived me
A fluke in the night of obscurity
Played by millions simulcast by a few
A city no lights such a great view
Its all very strange its the name of the game
(chorus 1)
Its all the same its never gonna change
Its the name of the game
Over and over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over again
Love is the name of the game
Come around and see me analyze or analogy
Ill give you a clue what you really need
If things get bad then things can get worse
Remember surrender remember the verse
Its all very strange its the name of the game
Its all the same its never gonna change
Its the name of the game
Over and over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over again
Love is the name of the game
I say hold on tight
Say hey youre doin it right
As I wish for a full dream flight
Night after night Im a knight
Over and over and over and over
And over and over again
Time after time after time
Over and over and over and over
Love is the name of the game
And then it came to me
Its just a game to me
Love is the name of the game

I like the fact that we have all the teams in the tournament. When I first got here as an assistant, not everyone made the tournament and I think as a coach, you look at it from a job security standpoint, I think that hurt when you didn't have everybody in the tournament.

So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I've got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that's the way I'm going to take it.

Respect
If we can not respect another
How can we expect them to respect us
If we can not respect someone’s beliefs
How can we expect them to respect ours
If we can not respect another’s race
How can we expect that race to respect us
If we can not respect others
How can we expect respect in return
Everyone expects respect
No matter who they are
The only way to gain it
Is to start treating everyone
As a friend, a brother, a sister
As part of our extended family
No matter what colour or creed they are
Only then you will start to get
The respect you so dearly crave

How Silly Is This? ...or...Does Your Next Move Matter? .....[Personal; Life; Death]
Why do I care at all what next I do in life?
After all I'm the boss of me...though I don't say that to my wife.
Well sometimes I do care, but should it really matter?
Is it better to be Alice or better to be Mad Hatter?
What it really comes down to is the LITTLE decisions I make.
Shall I immerse myself in a novel, or out-the-garbage-take?
Well, luckily, as I'm retired, I've more leeway in my choices.
I've got time to respond to my mind's contradictory voices.
I should not feel guilty, and try not to feel guilty, about what I do next.
I'm the boss after all, so 'Let me not be vexed'!
Shall I start a new poem? It seems the thing to do.
The household chores I have in mind can wait a day or two.
I've lived a pretty full life. I'm satisfied with myself.
What things I don't do from now on can just stay on 'the shelf'.
I think I've done enough to live up to expectations,
and if I don't 'measure up' then DAMN the calculations! !
My dear Mother is long since gone, but still her lead I follow.
I think my days contain some goodness; they are not just hollow.
I don't believe in 'God', but if I did I think She would agree
that I've done what is expected, and She'd smile at me.
And although I've had relationships in which 'some' have said I failed,
I truly believe they ended because my EFFORTS were bewailed.
And perhaps as some small evidence that I was not a cad:
my major former partners, to talk to me these days, are glad.
And if you believe humans have a duty to pass on DNA,
I've performed my 'duty'. (But it was only to let my first wife have her way.)
Well I guess I got a little carried away with this poem, but ain't it all the same?
To take out garbage, or write a poem, or have a child…it's all a game.
It's part of the game of life and who's to say what and if it does matter.
But let not this, my casual-view-of-life, your outlook on YOUR life shatter.

New Day Dawing
End of the night and my moneys spent
Gotta hock my clothes to pay my rent
Its a roll of the dice and its the same ole game
Those crazy snakes done bit me once again
Now I wanna tell you
Its been a long road and a difficult time
My lifes been so blue
But I aint giving up
And Im ready now to try, try, try
(chorus)
Ive seen the time when you could not stop the rain
When nothing changes and every day stays the same
Those bitter grapes have now turned to the sweetest wine
Im ready for the sun to shine, a new day is dawning
When it gets too tough, comes to push and shove
I swear it was you baby who invented love
Its the same ole rhythm, its the same ole rhyme
Its the same ole stuff that gets me every time
Now I wanna tell you
Its been a long road and a difficult time
My life without you
Aint been easy babe
But Im ready now to fly, fly, fly
(repeat chorus twice)
Get ready, get ready
Everybody get ready

Respect time!
Respect! Respect!
Time I respect you
Time is of great essence
Respect time
Before it imposes on you a sentence
As if you have committed a crime
Time is precious like a diamond
Time must come first never second
Respect time
For time itself is the sublime
Time never waits
Time decides fates
In time itself you create
The food you eat off your plate
In time itself you love and hate
And find a partner or some mates
Respect time, underrate it not
Don’t say ‘time passed, I forgot’
There is a time to be late
There is a time to debate
There is a time to wait for someone
Before time decides to shorten the fun
Remember time waits for no one
Time also catches up with those on the run
Respect time
The essence of time
Is its continuous presence
And its everlasting absence
And denial of the past tense

The Human Being
A tiny seed is placed in the ground,
It's the start of the miracle of life,
Before very long growth will be found,
Making ready for the stresses and strife.
Throughout the seasons that seed will grow,
Nurture it and a gem will be found,
Treat it with contempt and soon it will show,
There's no goodness inside to be found.
It's an individual with a mind of its own,
Treat it wisely and you can be sure,
When your seed has finally grown,
It's guaranteed to turn out to be pure.
Will it bear fruit well that's up to you,
Have you treated it with love and respect,
Or did you ignore it and cause it ado,
If you did it's the dregs you'll collect.
Never forget we were all seedlings once,
Ignorance towards others must be learned,
Treasure all life do not be a dunce,
Respect from others as a gift must be earned.
Life is a challenge regardless of type,
We're all together in a fight to survive,
As Humans we tend to believe our own hype,
Interdependency is what makes all life thrive.
We are the masters of greed and corruption,
For our future we don't seem to care,
As all life forms now face disruption,
Now's the time to make everyone aware.
Our continued arrogance will bring us all down,
We must acknowledge we are not all seeing,
If we don't we'll be witnessing the death of the clown,
Otherwise titled,
‘' The Human Being ''
