Centenary year
I did a quick google on ‘centenary’ to see if any literary people of note came up. First time around almost everything was past its sell-by – mostly to do with last year, but some older than that.
I feel a rant coming on!
Why don’t site owners take down out of date stuff?
Nuff said. I tried again with 2014 in the search box.
This time I got a huge number of hits for the start of the First World War. One of them even had ‘celebrations’ in its title. Ugh! Who celebrates war?
It looks as if any other person or thing with a centenary this year is going to have to work hard to get noticed in all the war stuff. One I know about is Dylan Thomas, but I’ll be blogging about him in a later post when I’ve done enough research to sort of do him justice.
Among all the war hits there were a couple of golf ones: Hockley Golf Club and The British Golf Collectors Society. So I went in search of golf poetry. There’s quite a bit of it but most is definitely unserious.
One Gabe Anderson wrote this little gem which is one of the best summaries I’ve seen of anything:
Golf is a great sport
Driver hybrid wedge putter
From tee box to green
