Page 3 December 2013 NEWSLETTER

Back in October a Christmas wish I made. A brand new set of golf clubs before next year I played. Then on Christmas morn, with my eyes I spied An oblong box under the tree, with ribbon wrapped and tied. I looked out the window and saw the ice and snow. But in my heart I knew, a golfing I would go. Now I'd need some special gear to play in these conditions. So I loaded up my golf bag to start a new tradition. A broom to sweep the greens and a hammer for the tees And different coloured balls for white I wouldn't see. Arriving at the course, the ground was glistening white. I wouldn't have to wait, a tee time was no plight. I swept away a pile of snow and pounded in a tee. Placed a coloured ball atop it and swung away with glee. My ball went soaring down the fairway and landed with a flop Into a two foot snow drift (unplayable), take a drop. My next shot went into the sand, a shot to truly dread. Then all at once I spotted him, a man all dressed in red. As I'm lining up my shot, it's Santa Claus I think, When my ball flew in the hole, He looked at me and winked. I knew these clubs were going to work, I'd just made a par. Let's play one hole together before heading for your car. To believe in Santa at sixteen, you might think it queer, But it isn't very often you get to see reindeer. A long par three lay next, as we walked upon the tee. There was no flag to aim for and the green I couldn't see Don't worry said the man in red, I know what lies ahead. Use your trusty five iron and aim it for my sled. I'd like to thank you for these clubs, I wasn't sure that I would get. He said your welcome son, but Christmas isn't over yet I kept my head nice and still checked my stance and grip. "Nice shot" said the bearded one, it's hanging on the lip. It seems a shame, he must be blind, there's no ball upon the green And I was disappointed because I'll stuck it crisp and clean And now you know my story and know one would believe. How I made my first hole in one with Santa there to see.
