From the forbidden jungles, located by a team of intrepid explorers, comes a long lost manuscript from the early years of sir Al Prevost. Once thought to have perished in a suspicious blaze, this little known work was reportedly penned during one of Al's self discovery trips to the wilds of South America.

Here, for the first ... and perhaps only time, is a seminal work by one of golf's great scribes.

The Captain

Yes, I'm captain of an industry

and golfing is my game,

and when I leave the course

it never is the same,

Cause I seldom fix a bunker

or a ballmark on a green,

and my divots in the fairway

just litter up the scene.

Oh, I'm captain of an industry

and always pay my dues,

which I believe entitles me

to do just what I choose,

so I drive my little golf car

where' ere I want to be,

without regard to path or sign

or bunker, green or tee.

Hey!, I'm captain of an industry

and rules I don't abide,

I do my thing the way I want,

the way that I decide,

Codes of dress and rules of golf

I basically ignore,

for captains such as I , I'm sure,

find restrictions such a bore.

So if you see a captain

who's tearing up the course,

It's sure to test your patience

as you realize the source,

and you know it won't be helpful

no matter what you do,

but think about the way you play

so the captain isn't you.

Sir Al Prevost
