"A Golfing Idyll; Or, The Skipper's Round with the Deil On the Links of St Andrews" by Violet Flint is a narrative poem written during the late 19th century. This unique work blends elements of folklore and humor, centering around the classic Scottish game of golf. The story captures the spirit of golfing culture while exploring themes of redemption and the supernatural. The narrative follows the character known as the Skipper, who recounts an extraordinary and bizarre encounter with the Devil during a late-night round of golf at St. Andrews. After an evening of drinking, the Skipper is challenged to a match by a mysterious and imposing figure, later revealed to be the Devil himself. As the Skipper attempts to win the game, he encounters incredible challenges and realizes the stakes are much higher than just a monetary wager. Throughout the match, humorous and farcical elements intertwine with the Skipper's growing realization of the dire consequences of his pride and vices. Ultimately, the tale serves as both a cautionary narrative about the dangers of alcohol and a spirited celebration of life on the Scottish links.
