At Killarney Golf and Fishing Club,
There’s two great courses to be found;
Built on Ireland’s fine Ring of Kerry,
Both are really worth a round.
From the local social Youth Hostel,
I hitched - doing as Irish do;
Then paid to play both the courses,
But missed five holes - Hostel curfew.
The fairways were lush and nicely groomed,
And the course views the best I’ve seen -
With walks beside the lakes and mountains...
I’m proud to say to there I’ve been.
