Yes that rings a bell familiar Silly verbiage full of giggle Still one wants the art work truly Funny art work, full of laughter Good Don Martin's floppy shoe tips Bring life to the awful writing So I'm thinking, please forgive me How I long to see the drawings Big nosed sketches of the people Happy faces calling gaily Drunken Watha drinking liquor Downing shots beyond his limit Dreaming of that pipestone quarry Lap it up dear shoe clerk Watha 'Till you fall across the counter Way up town on Eighty-Second In the bar called Gitchee-Goomee.

She is way cool with saying in an interview (paraphrasing) that she has no idea right now if she wants to chase a career in pro golf, she's just playing and enjoying it now, and will see where golf takes her. I think that Zen attitude, and the extreme coolness and in-the-moment "mindfulness" she's shown in this tournament -- not getting rattled at all by really horrible holes but coming right back and just focusing on each shot -- augur a long and steady career, if she chooses to pursue it. Some commentators are already noting the contrast between her attitude and the agony-and-ecstasy, sturm-und-drang of so many players. And are saying, This is what golf should be about. So a little over-reaction to her, including on my part, sure. But what a delight nonetheless.
