Musings from the Merse

Duns Golf Course (MPBUI) in sunnier times. Like April last year. Today it wasrather muddy coloured. You could drown on some of the fairways and the Life Boat would be welcome on the first fairway-my clerical partner was keeping his spirits up by humming 'For those in Peril on the Sea' It was surprising that the course was open at all. No sign of the green keepers who may have been marooned somewhere.
Before we went out I asked the only other person on the course, paddling across the 18th green how it was 'out there' . He rubbed the mud off his face and said:
'Mucky'
Yorkshire folk used to say 'Where there is muck there's brass'
Around Duns judging from the state of the public park and the Golf Course it should be : Where there is Muck there's Grass.
