"Cater" - a golf limerick by Anonymous, first published in Lyrics of the Links in 1921

The Original Golf Blogger shared a historical golf limerick titled "Cater" on October 14, 2026. The piece features a humorous poem about an enthusiastic young golfer who claims to regularly beat par during his rounds on the course.
The limerick was originally written by an anonymous author and published in 1921 within the collection Lyrics of the Links. The post explains that the joke relies on the British informal word "pater," meaning father, rather than the golf score benchmark.
