Nothing fancy shmancy ...

I propose said Julia - that we have a coffee in that club house - 

We'd been walking northwards, parallel to the dunes overlooking Cheswick Sands - 

The wind blew in from the sea - low clouds promised rain - 

Our path had taken us amongst the cosseted greens of a golf course - 

Notices warned of flying golf balls - 

Herring gulls flew above the golfers - 

Julia pointed with her walking pole - 

Let's go in she said - 

Julia plays golf - she'll say some magic golfing words I thought - 

Inside the club house, we drank filter coffee -

Julia had worked her magic - 

I read the names of the golfers on the honours board - 

The first captain of golf was J Kean in 1892 - 

Sir William Crossman KCMG was president from 1890 to 1901 - 

There's too much rough a golfer said - 

This is a straight forward club house said Julia - I like it - nothing fancy shmancy -
