(With Apologies to “The Fisherman * Prayer. ’ ’- Lord, suffer me to hit a drive That others on the tee May have no good excuse to stand And look with scorn at mt. And should I haply top a ball And not get far enough, Grant me that my opponent should Lie badly in the rough. If in a bunker I should lie, Grant me a decent place, And never let me find my ball Tucked right up in the face. Oh, let my brassie shots be such As mine have rarely been— That is, if possible, within A ehip-shot of the green. Let my approach be crisp and neat And lie as near the pin That when it is my turn to putt I’m bound to get it in. Give me the power to keep my Lead Well down and —best of all— Let me control my errant eye And keep it on the ball! Though many strokes I may have played, Though through the rough 1 be trod, Let my opponent, be the one That always plays the odd. Oh, suffer me to do a score So good that even I, When talking of it at the club. May have no need to lie. And yet to do a hole in one No great desire I’ve got; With whisky at its presen- price. I’d really rather not.
