It had the components of a great riddle: When you read it, it makes absolutely no sense, and when you read the answer, everything comes into light.

It really make my mind think and wonder what is the answer. But upon comparing my answer and your answer it feels great especially when my answer is correct.
Great, I kept guessing, beaten hands down
Good job! I was going with baseball up until the last line, which gave it away.... Then I backed up a line and it made perfect sense. Thanks!
Not being a golfer it would have been the last thing to cross my mind. Great job.
I was thinking baseball, too, but your answer suits me to a TEE! Tee Heee!
cute one keep them coming
Not being a golfer, I couldn't get it! Very good one!
I thought of hair too
This was good. I haven't been able to do teaser for a few weeks and I was pleased to do this one .
A very imaginative teaser! You had me totally confused, until I read the hint! OMG! Keep those creative juices going! I will expect some more teasers, just a little bit tougher.
Grrrr... I think I hate riddles. I can't think of any I've ever gotten.
I do like riddles with answers provided though, like in the Hobbit, or here...
...so I guess I can at least say that this is a good riddle, and a successful one too, because it certainly riddled me.

Nice teaser but can someone fill me in on "Envy colors where I rest.
"
Does this refer to the tee box? or maybe the flags?

"Envy Colors where I rest" is referring to the green where the hole is. I played 27 holes of golf today so this one was easy for me. Great job though.
I landed my first shot in the sandtrap Cute one
WOW! Teaser of the Day - gr8 job.
very well written and i liked it very much!
My first thought was a baseball, though I couldn't justify it with the color envy thingy...Great teaser...
i would have never got it. this is comments so i'll say I don't know why but I didn't really like it. but it was a good teaser, i guess i just didn't really get it.
Mybe I should have read the title and guessed the answer! I thought of hair, though it didnt seem a convincing answer. Good teaser!
???????????????????????????
this was a great teaser. but i got it all wrong would you believe the weather? it's raining so, oh well maybe next time
Wow, I am so excited by your positive feedback. Thank You!!!
very nice!
Great teaser. our title Green Acres made me think a the Pig. so you really left me in the sand trap.
It took me nearly a minute. I kept rereading it. From the title and color of envy I had lots of green in my head, then I looked at "Curse me when I stray from fair" with all this green in my head until "fair" became "fairway". Great job.
I don't play golf, so was out in left field, but a good one.
I don't know why, but hair kept coming to mind. Having a bad hair day and almost everything seemed to fit.
Very clever teaser, and my hubby is a golfer so I should have gotten that one right.

Took me a while to get it. Great teaser!
I agree with comments from others:
well written
I was trying to fit "hair" into it.
I could have figured it out if I had only looked up and seen "Green Acres!)

I like the way this was written very much. It was sufficiently abstract so that I had no idea what the answer could be. It reads smoothly with good rhyme. Very well done.
Looks like others found it easy to solve.
What is the meaning of the line about "envy colors"?

What is the meaning of the line about "envy colors"?
Green, traditionally, is the color associated with envy/jealousy, and a well-hit golf ball is said to land on the green, as opposed, say, to in the rough.
