"WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER MAN MY DAD COULDN’T UNDERSTAND MY FOUNDATIONS LAID IN BUNKER SAND, MY DREAMS BOHEMIAN. HIS RAINBOW WAS ON THE GREEN, MINE WAS IN THE ROUGH IT SEEMED, ***WE GOT TOGETHER IN THE SEAMS***, ME AND MY OLD MAN."
No encuentro esta expresión.
Os agradezco vuestra ayuda. |
| | | nos reunimos en los bordes / collares | Explanation:
In the fringe/interface between the two. Although I don't think the rough usually runs as far as the green in golf.

1 hr confidence:   coincidiamos, aunque sólo en lo más mínimo
Explanation:
es una probabilidad, por el sentido de la frase. Aunque lo de "mínimo" no me gusta y tendría que ser capaz de encontrar algo un poquitín más "poético"... seguiré pensando
De todos modos, tal vez tenga algo que ver, en otro contexto, con el contrario de la expresión "fall apart/come apart at the seams" que significa derrumbarse, venirse abajo, desmoronarse.

Reference information:
En vista de las otras 'metáforas golfísticas' quizás se refiera a esto:
SEAMS OF CUT TURF
Through the green, seams of cut turf (not the turf itself) are deemed to be Ground Under Repair. However, interference by a seam with the players stance, is deemed not to be, or itself, interference under rule 25-1. If the ball lies in or touches the seam or the seam interferes with the area of intended swing, relief is available under rule 25-1. All seam within the cut turf area are considered the same seam.
