A Flawed Man
Am I the best that I can be?
Am I doing the best that I can?
Do my actions betray my words?
Am I a flawed man?
With words I woo’d you.
You became my biggest fan.
But my words mirrored my actions.
I was a flawed man.
It is not enough to want to be better.
Redemption requires more than a principled plan.
Your love for me is beyond reason.

Am I the best that I can be?
Am I doing the best that I can?

Am I a flawed man?
With words I woo’d you.
You became my biggest fan.
But my words mirrored my actions.
I was a flawed man.
It is not enough to want to be better.
Redemption requires more than a principled plan.
Your love for me is beyond reason.
I am a flawed man.
History can’t be erased or rewritten,
and a bell rung can not be unrung.
But each day I pray
that this will be the day
when your faith and trust in me
is perceived to be closer at hand
for this blessed, but flawed man
The After Party
Hello? Where is it that I am, and when?
Last I knew, I was there, and it was then.
You are neither here, nor there, nor anywhere.
You are but an id in the ether now, my friend.
The merest essence of who you once were,
Telepathy is your sole means to confer,
And the psyché, being, well, a psyché,
Can only defer, demur, or concur.
Eons have p
Hello? Where is it that I am, and when?
Last I knew, I was there, and it was then.
You are neither here, nor there, nor anywhere.
You are but an id in the ether now, my friend.
The merest essence of who you once were,
Telepathy is your sole means to confer,
And the psyché, being, well, a psyché,
Can only defer, demur, or concur.
Eons have passed without physicality.
Egos wage war inconsequentially.
Cerebral aggression has evolved
into a pseudo-civility.
We’re here at life’s after-party.
Equals all, without hierarchy.
We ascended beyond the physical
to dwell forevermore
in metaphysical anarchy.
Angry Man
Angry Man
I never thought of myself
as an angry man.
But if that means I’ll have my day,
then, I reckon I am.
A patient man by most estimations.
Karma's my remedy for most situations.
I am a patient man, it's true,
but I concede to holding a grudge.
Revenge served cold
is the best kind if I’m to judge.

I am a patient man, it's true,
but I concede to holding a grudge.
Revenge served cold
is the best kind if I’m to judge.
Without a doubt, an eye for an eye
would more swiftly my soul to satisfy.
But my sense is I’d abhor even more
the consequences of evening that score.
So I let the universe do its thing
without any help from me.
Let divine balance be achieved
by karma’s manifest poetry.
Like most things in life, the least complicated solution is often the best one. Golf is no different, especially for senior and weekend golfers, for whom the solution is so simple it's usually ignored.

Like most things in life, the least complicated solution is often the best one. Golf is no different, especially for senior and weekend golfers, for whom the solution is so simple it's usually ignored.
Ridge was in the golf business for a long time, as a student, player, pro shop owner, master club maker, club fitter, and teacher. Ridge's dad was also a lifetime PGA member, so golf was a dominating influence since his formative years.
Ridge owned Magee Golf Company, a golf retail, repair, and PGA-accredited teaching facility for nearly 25 years. Believing his customers were his best advertising, he offered free lessons to all his “new" club buyers, averaging 15 lessons a week, 45 weeks a year for the last 16 years before he retired.
During those years Ridge isolated and applied 3 key elements that effortlessly and instantly improved everyone's ball striking.
Ridge shares a career's worth of wisdom to help you defeat your toughest opponent, yourself.

My mantra since I began writing about the stuff that keeps pokin’ at me has been “Tempt Enlightenment by Engaging and Exploring Alternative Points of View.”
When you ponder and scrutinize viewpoints other than your own, new insights and perceptions are introduced and the collateral effect are revised perceptions and enlightened points of view.
These are the acorns of enlightenment that grow into the strong personal convictions that define us.
Doing your due diligence gives you confidence in your convictions so you can express your opinions and be part of the greater discussion.
While you read Gimmes, Muligans & Preferred Lies, please accept that these are merely my points of view, based on what I believed to be true at a given point in time.
