    Default Bing Crosby Golf Song

    I remember a Bing Crosby song that was played at his golf tournament. Some of the lyrics included the words, ".....right down the middle....." Can anyone give me the title and complete lyrics of this song?

    Maybe it was "Straight Down The Middle" by Bing Crosby

    F O R E !

    Straight down the middle
    It went straight down the middle
    Then it started to hook just a wee wee bit
    That's when my caddie lost sight of it
    That little white pellet has never been found to this day
    But it went straight down the middle like they say

    Whack down the fairway
    It went smack down the fairway
    Then it started to slice just a smidge off line
    It headed for two but it bounced off nine
    My caddie says long as you're still in the state you're okay
    Yes it went straight down the middle quite a ways

    The sun was never brighter
    The greens were never greener
    And I was never keener to play
    I heard it came down the middle
    It went zing down the middle
    Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom
    There's always the lies in the locker room
    And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
    That it went straight down the middle today

    Oh the life of a golfer is not all gloom
    Though they charge just for listening in the locker room
    But I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
    That it went straight down the middle
    Where it wound up is a riddle
    But it went straight down the middle far away
