Great Regulars: Football, skipping, hockey, battleships,

bingo; games of the imagination . . . And golf, of course, in the swinging lines of Arthur Conan Doyle, reprinted in part here from his collection Songs of Action (1898). His view is democratic--although he doesnADVERTISEMENT't specifically mention ladies playing the game (the Ladies' Golf Union was established in 1893)--and just saying the poem out loud is a tonic.

from The Scotsman: Poetry: A Lay of the Links by Arthur Conan Doyle
