Playing For A Cure

Regular readers of this blog know that I enjoy playing golf, despite the fact that my low-skilled geezer game bears zero resemblance to that of a professional golfer. Perhaps that’s why I admire pro golfer David Henry on a couple of levels.

David started his “Playing For A Cure” campaign for melanoma awareness in 2008, after his mom Chris was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma. And David himself was recently diagnosed with Stage I melanoma. He’ll be playing again this summer in the Greater Cedar Rapids Open and, thanks to David’s inspiring impact on tournament organizers, this year’s tournament will benefit melanoma research at The University of Iowa’s Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center .

In my book there won’t be any “losers” competing in this year’s Greater Cedar Rapids Open, regardless of where a player may finish on the tournament scoreboard, nor are there any “losers” among the warriors battling this cursed disease, regardless of the outcome of their fight. With thanks to David and best wishes for success in his golfing career, here’s my version of Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”…

Well it’s a real tough Black C with a long history
Of breaking tanner’s’s hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K., let’s see how you do it
Put on your spikes, let's get down to it!
Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Why Don't You Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Fire Away!

It comes on from the sun’s bronze, it don't fight fair
That's O.K., see if I care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!

Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Why Don't You Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Fire Away!

Well it’s a real tough bastard with a bad history
Of breaking tanner’s hearts, if they’re sunscreen-free
Before it puts another line in this boomer’s face
You better make sure you drive C into space

Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Come On, Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Fire Away!

Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Why Don't You Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Hit C With Your Best Shots!
Fire Away!
