The rules of golf are simple they said
I listened, it all went over my head
10 Basics of the game, pay attention
Listen carefully to what I mention;
14 clubs in your bag, no more!
It could cost penalty strokes (Rule 4-4)
Play within parameters of the tee
2 shots in stroke play is the penalty
Oh my God, who art in heaven
Don't want to be breaking Rule 11
Mark your ball don't play the wrong 1
Thats a 2 stroke penalty Rule 15-1
God forbid if you break the rules of the green
There's a couple of key rules Rule 17
Rule 13-1 play your ball as it lies
Unless the rules allow you to do otherwise
Unplayable lies could get a penalty of 1 stroke
Rule 28 oh my lord it's no joke
No way back from Out of Bounds
Rule 27-1b only 5 mins to be found!
It's a sociable game, but a solitary one
No seeking advice Rule 8-1
Striking the ball no spoon, scrape or flick
Rule 14-1 don't act like a *****
Score correctly, disqualified if a fix
Make sure it gets signed Rule 6-6
Even the professionals can get it wrong they say
So I packed up my clubs and signed up to Ebay
