-To the tune of "Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel".
Would you like to hear my song,
I'm afraid it's rather long,
Of the (famous?) Branson Trails double trouble?
Of a half a dozen slips,
And a full dozen trips,
And the very loud bursting of my bubble.
'Tis a rugged course to play,
On that fateful day,
I fear my base plastic discs got rather flippy,
So, to all who Branson go,
This thing you need to know,
That the Blue Course is a hard road to travel.
Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel,
Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel I believe.
The first tee, it bodes ill,
On a large downward hill,
The very definition of "scary"
Alas, my drive, it hit a tree,
And my disc I couldn't see,
For it was rolling all the way to Londonderry!
Looking at the second pin,
It filled me with chagrin,
For the fairway led again a downhill path,
Thus, my throw had no control,
I took the double bogey toll,
And the course began to really show its wrath.
Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For downhill is a hard road to travel,
I tried to toss it low, but the gaps I could not weave,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel I believe.
It seemed, though I tried my best,
My scores wouldn't come to rest,
Even close to anywhere near par'd,
I could almost celebrate,
When three holes past hole eight,
A bogey I took on the card.
The twelfth hole gave me hope,
"If I birdie I could cope,
For this hole is under two hundred feet,"
I didn't, for you see,
Yet again I hit a tree,
At that point I knew I had been beat.
Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For The front nine is a hard road to travel,
My score got very high,
But I was glad to make it through,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel, mind you!
We played all eighteen links,
And like an age-old Sphinx,
This course is one Regal beast,
My enjoyment was immense,
And though it may have been tense,
It was a true disc golfer's feast.
I can't say enough,
Though it was at times rough,
About the lines and shot selection,
This Course is a must hike,
Although I wouldn't bring your tyke,
For the ravine isn't really a confection!
Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For the Blue Course is a fun road to travel,
We had a lot of laughs, and I'd stay for a while,
For the Blue Course is a fun road to travel, every mile!
