Richard makes a splash at Gracehill

AN ode to Richard Bell who fell into the water at the sixth hole on Thursday.

There’s lots of water at Gracehill

If you fell in you would get a chill

At the 6th Richard Bell had a slip

And ended up taking a dip

The water came up to his chest

Now getting out was his quest

As his playing partners had a good laugh

Someone phoning for the RNLI life raft

But Richard managed to pull himself out

As the odd f-word was bandied about

His little ducking was not in vain

He found a ball or two for his pain

So remember at the edge of a lake

Special care you need to take

Or you’ll be going home with a story to tell

Just ask Richard ‘Flipper’ Bell
