I feel in complete agreement with Mark Twain about golf being a good walk ruined, but remain guardedly willing to let any enthusiast work their magic on me , as Alan Shepherd , who ferried clubs and balls Moonwards,, once accidentally did.
So should you conjure a reconfiguration of the sport in which the course , wherever situated has retained its verdant , pulsing wildness, jumping with living jewels, and in which the holing of the ball is somewhat akin to the stone in the soup in a certain fairy tale, I may happily join you for a game,

    Nice drabble, Jamie. I have to say I have a golf swing that looks like I'm chopping wood so I stay away from it unless it's one of those miniature places where you putt balls through windmills.

    Thanks Christopher. At least you've swung a golf club which is more than I
    will probably ever do. :-)

    Oh go on Jamie! Give it a try. It releases tension (but then cranks it up again if/when (in my case) the ball buries itself firmly in the rough). The advice I was given by a good golfer was not to try too hard. That works for me, most of the time. 🥴
