Der Regen fallt schon wieder. Scheisse, ich habe diesen verdammten Regen total satt. Golf ist nicht gut im Regen. Bei Nasse rutschen die Dinger und konsequentes Ballshlagen ist schwer zu erreichen. Auch zu viel Regen ist schlecht fur die Seele. Golfer singen selten im Regen, entrinken aber nicht, winken. Sogar die Vogel verschwinden, wenn es regnet. Birdies versiegen und Eagles sind extrem unwahrscheinlich. Ich rufe den Gott des Himmels an, mit dem Regen aufzuhoren, denn wir haben genug, danke!

Before Summer Rain

By Rainer Maria Rilke

Suddenly, from all the green around you,
something-you don’t know what-has disappeared;
you feel it creeping closer to the window,
in total silence. From the nearby wood

you hear the urgent whistling of a plover,
reminding you of someone’s Saint Jerome:
so much solitude and passion come
from that one voice, whose fierce request the downpour

will grant. The walls, with their ancient portraits, glide
away from us, cautiously, as though
they weren’t supposed to hear what we are saying.

And reflected on the faded tapestries now;
the chill, uncertain sunlight of those long
childhood hours when you were so afraid.

Rain can be beautiful, even on the golf course,. but it makes the game much harder to play. Rain and golf are not bosom buddies, that’s for sure.
