The
Poets Golf Society
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 meet ups are on
a Friday, hence the name P.... Off
Early, Tomorrows Saturday!
In 2008 the 4
venues where Brookmans Park in May, selected
as a tribute to a dear friend to all at
Barkway, Pete Smalley, then we played
Millbrook Golf Club in July. The next venue
was Abbotsley, and that was played in October.
Then the last meet up was at Barkway, in
December for the Christmas comp.
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 Chris
Barker (Barking Mad) is to be our laureate,
past captains to date have been:
2004 John Pickin
(Cotton)
2005 Kevin Streeting (Kaos)
2006 Jamie Bates (Prozac)
