"CLUBS! CLUBS!"

Reading edition

["Fry of Wadham," illustrious all-round athlete of Oxford, holds that Golf is no better than "glorified Croquet."]

Oh, Fry of Wadham, you've opened your mouth, And "put your foot in it!" Here in the South, Talked to death by wild golfers, we're likely to cry Hooray, to see Link-lovers roasted by Fry. Golf-glorification's a terrible tax on The muscular Cricketing, Footballing Saxon, To whom the game seems just a little bit pokey. But Fry of Wadham, Sir, "glorified Croquet"! Champion of Champions, you're going to catch it! Each man loves his sport, swears no other can match it Chacun à son goût! And he's rather to blame Who's prompt to make game of another man's Game!

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
