The "Poets" society was formed in 2004, and was started by Barkway Park Golf Club members in order to have some fun golf at different courses. We usually meet up four times a year, and usually the meets up are on a Friday, hence the name P.... off early, tomorrow is Saturday! 

In 2007 the 4 venues where Brookmans Park in April, selected as a tribute to a dear friend to all at Barkway, Pete Smalley, then we played Letchworth. The next venue was switched from "The Hertfordshire" to Whitehills, and that was played in October. Then the last meet up was at Barkway, in December for the Christmas comp. I know it's not a different course, but it works out a handy venue for the final meet up of the year, which is usually followed up with an evening at a local venue to get into the Christmas SPIRIT! This might not always be the selected last venue, it depends on the Poet laureate's choice of venue.

Each year there is a new captain, and they are called the Poet Laureate. The Laureate do the presentation at the end of each meet up, and are also expected to contribute a poem. They are also in charge of selecting the Summer Venue, which are then passed on to Greg Smith (Tarzan) who then books the venues.

This year Mike Rogers (Jolly) is to be our laureate, past captains to date have been:
2004 John Pickin (Cotton)
2005 Kevin Streeting (Kaos)
2006 Jamie Bates (Prozac)
2007 Andrew Rusbridge (Rusty)
