Thread Name: Golf songs: Irish or Scottish??
Subject: RE: Golf songs: Irish or Scottish??
Some sports seem so much more musical than others. There are countless thousands of songs about the mechanics of tormenting foxes and hares in various ways; boxers and wrestlers get plenty of praise; the post-game music of rugby players is legendary(thoughthe songs generally celebrate another kind of game);there is a smattering of good cricket songs: football ispires the purest folk form of all, the offensive chants of the terraces, but not much actual songs(except for dreary money raising anthems sung(?) by the teams); but golf as far as I know seems to rank with darts, tiddly winks and rounders as a relatively music-free zone.
