j I “Che Drite, the Approach and the Jutt”

There’s a song that is sung, but I don’t know the words: It sets my poor brain in a whirl; It tells of how rarely the lover finds fairly, The time, and the place, and the girl. And golf is like love, though you maynot agree, That it holds true in every case; but You seldom, if ever, get all three together, The drive, the approach and the putt.

a There’s Rosenwald now, with the wind at his back, Gets a drive that brings joy to his soul, And when he approaches, there’s no need of coaches, He lays them right dead on thehole. And when onceon the green, Louis Eekstein’s been seen, Taking many a game from the rut, 4 But they seldom, if ever, get all three together,

The drive, the approach and the putt.
