Was being held<\/p>\n

Before the main event<\/p>\n
Sandwich Bay<\/p>\n

As they practiced in windy conditions<\/p>\n
And then I left and walked<\/p>\n

And saw more park and ride buses<\/p>\n

Eventually I reached the railway station<\/p>\n
Where I found a Pearl S Buck first edition<\/p>\n
On the crowded charity shelf<\/p>\n
It was called God’s Men\u00a0<\/em>and dated from 1951<\/p>\n And I could not help wondering<\/p>\n Where it had been for the last seventy years<\/p>\n I had not discounted the railway station<\/p>\n Although I thought this extreme<\/p>\n And then my electric train arrived<\/p>\n Mainstream Dream Day Dream<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After completing my shopping I decided cushions and all To walk to Sandwich Bay Where the 2021 Open Was being held It was the last practice day Before the main event Sandwich Bay In all its grey and white wildness Seemed quieter than I expected to be I watched nameless golfers As they practiced in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7987"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7987\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
