For Lorena Ochoa, on the occasion of her retirement from the LPGA, and also National Poetry Month. Are we right on time or what?
Lorena, I confess
I had no idea
You were ranked #1
When you quit.
I had long ago lost interest
As I considered you erratic
An emotional player
Who could not recover
From bad shots
And hazards.
It makes no difference to me
Why you are retiring
But it should
As it should any fan of golf
And women’s golf in particular.
And yet…
I find I can only wish you well
And hope that Michelle Wie
Or Paul Creamer
Or Morgan Pressel
Live up to their potential
And that women’s golf
Lives to fight another day
Even without a Tiger
Even without a Kapalua
Even without a hyper-muscular Annika.
It’s a game everyone should want to play
Even if no one wants to watch.
