The August Meet – Rutland Water
A GOLFER’S TALE
On a warm and dry summer’s day
Fourteen men went out to play
Hopes were high, clubs were ready
Who will succeed, who will be steady
The course this time was Rutland Water
Some will play well, some will falter
The tees were mown, the fairways green
Now off they start, eager and keen
The balls were struck from tee to green
Some were direct, some never seen
Who would play well, who would have luck
Who would think ‘Wow’, who would think ‘Fxxx’
Geoff’s brother Danny came as a guest
But which Delany would come out the best
The gorse seemed to hamper the man from Kent
As it swallowed his ball wherever he went
Some birdied, some parred, but no hole in one
Some cheered, some cried, some wanted their mum
But this is a course that is always a test
And only occasionally brings out the best
As the Clubhouse was reached, all wanted to see
Who Jon would pronounce was the ‘Top Follie’
The man with no shirt, the winner was Phil
With 35 points, he’s not over the hill
Colin H was second and Brian B made third
The rest of the group, their scores remained blurred
And after a round that was really quite grim
Yours truly’s only good shot won ‘nearest the pin’
So onwards The Follies to play in September
Rutland County’s the place for all to remember
The ups and downs that golf always brings
Means the pleasure we get is just one of those things!
