INTRODUCTION


 A GOLFERS DREAM

I must be off to the links again
for the call of the fairways wide,
is a loud call, and a clear call
that cannot be denied.

It fills me with a mad desire to realise
my dreams of tee-shots long,
and irons strong to the heart of all the greens.

So I'm off to the Red Cross Golf Am Am
faraway from the cares of town
and I'll strive today better golf to play
so my team can win the crown.

Then all I want is the magic putt,
and the straight and powerful drive,
to complete the course using skill and force
in a brilliant 65.
