Keep your hands up
Sometimes you’d wish that you were a little bit more involved…….especially when you know that you could have been.
I quote Arnold Daly. "Golf is like a love affair; if you don’t take it seriously, it’s no fun. If you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart."
Sometimes you’d stop yourself from falling deeply in love……especially when you suspect that your heart’s gonna break. When sense of security is thin and there are lots of dubious characters, you try not to take it seriously…..When popularity with the opposite sex becomes surprisingly convenient and coincidental…..your self defense nerves tingle.
"Protect yourself at all times" That’s what the referee always says in the ring right at the beginning before the fighters touch gloves. So you do exactly what you’re told to do. You adopt the classic "peekaboo" and hide your chin behind your gloves. Your coach shouts from the corner "That’s right! Keep your hands up!" But as long as you keep your hands up near your face, you’re never going to let your fists fly and your elbows are never going to snap. The only way to sting, is to hang your hands loosely around your chest…..and risk getting hit on your chin.
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
There are many things that I
would like to say to you
But I don’t know how
– Oasis
