Walter Lost a Ball


Dear Mr. Woods,
Sorry 'bout the US Open,
AND congratulations about placing sixth in the US Open.
It's all a matter of perspective :)
Now, for my news.
I saw him.
I thought he was fictitious,
but I saw him.
He's one of the subjects in my study.
Walter Mitty of James Thurber fame putted into my yard in a golf card.
It appears that the ONLY putting he does is in the golf cart.
He was a few feet from my bedroom window when I yelled out to my husband to grab the camera. (in hindsight, a mistake.)
He (Walter) appears to be in his eighties now. He wears thick glasses.
He canvassed the woods edge in search of his misguided ball.
He didn't find it.
I'm sure.
To his credit he did not take up the foolhardy plight of trekking the tick infested area.
Before I could get the lens cap off of the camera my husband had called out to him something about private property.
Walter did not realize that the space four feet from my bedroom window and in front of our wooded lot was private property.(I mentioned the glasses).
Walter mentioned something about no out of bounds......
My husband mentioned something about no carts....
I didn't get a good shot.
Darn it!
Yours Truly,
The Muse
