The murmur in the street below,
The elevated’s boom and roar,
Will sound–if fancy have it so–
Like surf upon a tropic shore.

Enjoyed reading your blog and I agree that good golf poetry is sorely needed today. Here’s an excerpt of something I wrote to help me remember the the Rules. Not good poetry, by any means, but it was useful to me. Here I begin with Rule 18:

“And now the juicy part begins
To see who loses and who wins
For he that knows the next eleven,
Will score a five instead of seven.”

Comment on Attitudes Toward Women Golfers in the Early Days (Part 3) by James Long Hale

The Ladies

Mary, Queen of Scots, played Golf with vigor
Until she lost her head to Lizzie’s axe.
No doubt, ’twas Golf that eased her mortis rigor—
Where else would she have learned how to relax?

St. Andrews was constructed in her reign
Of Scotland, where the ancient Game was born.
What reason, then, have some men to disdain
And speak of female players with such scorn?

No doubt the issue here is more complex
And difficult for us to analyze,
But probably, they fear the fairer sex
Will force them, yet again, to compromise.

To them I say: Who started Women’s Lib?
Be thankful that He only charged a rib.
