A Christmas carol!?

Gentlemen,
Please find my Christmas Carol in honour of Ian Andrews and Leonard Cohen! A youtube clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxd23UVID7k
with Cohen's ORIGINAL lyrics will help (I hope!) to decipher the metre and fun!
Every Golfer knows
Every golfer knows that a slice is fated
Every golfer roils when their swing has crossed
Every golfer knows the game is over
Every golfer knows the poor drive’s cost
Every golfer knows, you stand transfixed
A cure? No cure. A twitch will twitch
That’s golfing woes
The Christ-child also knows.
Every golfer knows that that drive is leaking
Every golfer knows what’s been applied
Every golfer must have token healing
Now Christmas miracles may not abide
Every golfer silent re their sockets
Every golfer’s wish a run of sweet hits
And a long shot close
The Infant also knows.
Every golfer knows that the game is crazy
Every golfer glows each nice shot anew
Every golfer knows that we’ll be faithful
Oh, give or take a plight or two
Every golfer knows golf is bittersweet
But there are so many courses on which to compete
And plenty foes
The herald angel knows
And every golfer knows when it’s short or over
And every golfer knows when the shot is due
And every golfer knows that you seem much older
When you’ve missed a line or two
Every golfer knows the feel is rotten
Old hack blows never quite forgotten
‘Mongst ribbings and prose
Child in the manger knows
And every golfer knows that good play is fleeting
Every golfer knows that they’re swinging fast
Every golfer knows that degraded pitch and puttin’
Will lead to whining but the die is cast
Every golfer knows a green well read
But it’s often really sweeter in your head
Because you froze
And baby Jesus knows
And every golfer knows your tribulations
Every golfer knows just how that feels
From the ruddy dross to test your patience
To the peach that you can do
Every golfer knows before they start
To not look back or be faint of heart
Because it shows
And golfing heaven knows
Every golfer knows, Every golfer knows
That's how it goes
Every golfer knows
Every golfer knows, Every golfer knows
That's how it goes
Every golfer knows

Darn, I wish I weren't retired. I could have used this very touching carol in place of Silent Night on Christmas Eve.
