Golf Girl

The lyrics tell a light, playful story of a chance meeting on a golf course. The speaker notices Pat, who is selling tea, and orders extra cups partly because he hopes she is interested in him. Their encounter becomes romantic when she shelters him from flying golf balls, and they later share a kiss. The mood moves from comic curiosity to warm affection, though it remains deliberately simple.

Several details create the song’s unusual charm. “Dressed in PVC” gives the speaker’s appearance a striking, slightly absurd quality, while tea sold “full right to the brim” makes the meeting feel ordinary and cheerful. The “rain” of golf balls is an exaggerated image: the balls are dangerous enough to need protection, but the situation is presented as funny rather than frightening. Later, saying they “talk in morse” suggests a private way of communicating, perhaps playful or intimate, without explaining exactly what they share.

The speaker’s claim that he could see Pat “fancied” him may be hopeful rather than certain; the lyrics offer no account of her thoughts beyond her smile, protection, and kiss. Likewise, the sudden shift from the golf-ball mishap to their affectionate routine leaves much unstated. The song can be read as a whimsical celebration of romance arising from an accidental meeting, without needing a deeper hidden meaning.
