Chasing A Ball
Etiquette, breaching contract
play it where it lies, no contact
extensive benefits for all
don't move that little white ball
authority self appointed judging
little white lies and divot nudging
course of action disciplinary traces
connections, clubs and faces
substantial fundamental graces
revised newer version books
serious players, serious looks
rule changes, altered scope
fair play and traditional hope
amended information committee
another relaxing game outside the city
forethought prevention beguiling pity
mulligan situation, influential coax
maximum distance and penalty strokes
previous fudging, scorecard hoax
frustration game, freedom telling jokes
