Tell Me How Coffee and Golf Relate

     I have been working very hard these past few days trying to churn out some insightful and well thought out posts for this blog. This is very hard to do. Each day taxes my brain to come up with a new subject to write about, one that will inform you and entertain you.  Today, I'm fresh out of ideas.  That worries me. Well, I guess I will just pour myself a cup of coffee and kind of let things happen. Hold on, let me take a sip of my coffee. There, that's better.
     Golf and coffee have a lot in common. What better way is there to clear your mind in the morning than to pour yourself a hot cup of coffee and enjoy it.  I prefer a dark roast myself and it kind of gets me going.  The same is true with a game of golf, although the effects of the golf game last longer because I can drink a cup of coffee in about ten minutes, but a round of golf can last for four or more hours.
      What is really a wonderful experience is to have a cup of dark roast coffee--ok, I do use cream and sweetener--and then go to the first tee and play golf. Life just doesn't get any better, especially if you team the coffee and round of golf with a good California Breakfast Burrito.  I'm in heaven!  For those of you living on the East Coast who have never had a California Breakfast Burrito with everything including chorizo, you are truly missing something and I have to feel very sorry for you. Don't forget the ketchup by the way when you try one if you are so fortunate.
      Coffee, like golf is one of those experiences that capture the essence of the five senses. You can feel the weight of the cup in your hand and the warmth of the wonderful brew that you are drinking. The taste of that brew is truly the nectar of the gods.  How can you describe the smell rising up from out of the vessel in which that wonderful liquid is contained in?  There is a distinct sound coming from the liquid flowing out of the coffee pot and into the mug or cup and  the sound of the cup filling. Just looking at the cup--I use a couple of cups that I have purchased in my travels and today I am using the Grandpa cup my kids brought back from Disneyland for me--as well as the almost black drink that you are about to consume stimulates your eyes. Yes, a cup of coffee is a sensual happening as is golf.
       Golf, like coffee provides a thrilling experience for the senses. The feeling of the grip of the club in your hand as well as the impact of the club when it strikes the ball is an happening that has few comparisons. The sight of the course and it's setting is truly refreshing to the eye and calming to the soul. The smell of fresh cut grass and of the trees that may line the fairway fill your nostrils and fire the olfactory nerves giving you a wonderful sense of the smell of the course. The sound of the club striking the ball evokes a feeling of power and control in the golfer especially if the golfer had a cup of coffee in the clubhouse.  You can just taste the game, or was that the California Breakfast Burrito you had--don't forget the ketchup.
        So, that is how coffee and golf relate. Thank you for reading this so far as I know it has been tedious at best. Not bad for being fresh out of ideas to write about. In conclusion I have this to say.  Congratulations on your win at the Northern Trust Los Angeles Open Bubba Watson.

Truly tickles the senses.
