A New Yr’s Decision For Golfers – From 1900
I get pleasure from poking round web archives of previous magazines and newspapers to see what kind of golf associated stuff pops up.
Just a few years again I discovered a poetic New Yr’s decision for golfers in an early golf journal. Sadly, I’ve since misplaced the hyperlink to the web page. Maybe somebody is aware of the journal and situation.
It appears exceptional to me how little a golfer’s want listing has modified within the final 120 years: cease slicing; cease over swinging; cease topping the ball; cease pulling. Maintain your head down.
For my very own half, my {golfing} New Yr’s decision is straightforward: play extra golf, and luxuriate in it extra by being current and never worrying in regards to the rating.
Right here’s the textual content model of the New Yr’s decision from 1900:
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
SWEAR off pulling, swear off slicing,
Swear off ever wanting up;
Swear off doing all however capturing
For the middle of the cup.SWEAR off topping, over-swinging,
As you stand upon the tee;
Swear off doing all however holing
Out in three.– Nameless, circa 1900
