Golf Quotes with Free DVD and Golf Hole Island 5x7 Golf quotes, Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five. ~John Updike It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place this world is when one is playing golf. ~Robert Lynd Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad. ~A.A. Milne Golf, like the measles, should be caught young, for, if postponed to riper years, the results may be serious. ~P.G. Wodehouse, A Mixed Threesome, 1922 I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: it's called an eraser. ~Arnold Palmer Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears. ~Bobby Jones I'm about five inches from being an outstanding golfer. That's the distance my left ear is from my right. ~Ben Crenshaw Golf is like a love affair. If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart. ~Arthur Daley Golf is a fascinating game. It has taken me nearly forty years to discover that I can't play it. ~Ted Ray, Golf - My Slice of Life, 1972 The number of shots taken by an opponent who is out of sight is equal to the square root of the sum of the number of curses heard plus the number of swishes. ~Michael Green, The Art of Coarse Golf, 1975 If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out. ~Paul Gallico Golf is like an 18-year-old girl with big boobs. You know it's wrong but you can't keep away from her. ~Val Doonican Golf is a lot of walking, broken up by disappointment and bad arithmetic. ~Author Unknown It's easy to see golf not as a game at all but as some whey-faced, nineteenth-century Presbyterian minister's fever dream of exorcism achieved through ritual and self-mortification. ~Bruce McCall Forget your opponents; always play against par. ~Sam Snead If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is. ~Horace G. Hutchinson They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that. ~Gardner Dickinson I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf.

Today it's called the PGA Tour. ~Author uncertain, attributed to Alex Hay A game in which you claim the privileges of age, and retain the playthings of childhood. ~Author Unknown, plagiarized from the Samuel Johnson quotation "It is a hopeless endeavour to unite the contrarieties of spring and winter; it is unjust to claim the priveleges of age, and retain the play-things of childhood," which was not written about golf (Thanks, Frank Lynch) Golf combines two favorite American pastimes: taking long walks and hitting things with a stick. ~P.J. O'Rourke The sport of choice for the urban poor is basketball. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is bowling. The sport of choice for front-line workers is football.

Don't even putt. ~Dean Martin Golf gives you an insight into human nature, your own as well as your opponent's. ~Grantland Rice [T]o play golf is to spoil an otherwise enjoyable walk. ~Attributed to "the Allens," as quoted by H.S.

It would be justifiable homicide if he wound up his pitiable exhibition by applying his niblick to your head. ~Harry Vardon A passion, an obsession, a romance, a nice acquaintanceship with trees, sand, and water. ~Bob Ryan Drugs are very much a part of professional sports today, but when you think about it, golf is the only sport where the players aren't penalized for being on grass. ~Bob Hope I'd play every day if I could.

Woods and irons. ~Chris Codiroli The golf swing is like a suitcase into which we are trying to pack one too many things. ~John Updike Even God has to practice his putting. ~Golf Saying Actually, the only time I ever took out a one-iron was to kill a tarantula. And it took a seven to do that. ~Jim Murray The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody put a flagstick on top. ~Pete Dye If you're caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron.

The worse you play, the better you remember the occasional good shot. ~Nubar Gulbenkian, 1972 Some of us worship in churches, some in synagogues, some on golf courses. ~Adlai Stevenson I would like to deny all allegations by Bob Hope that during my last game of golf, I hit an eagle, a birdie, an elk and a moose. ~Gerald Ford The first time I played the Masters, I was so nervous I drank a bottle of rum before I teed off.

No matter what you shoot - the next day you have to go back to the first tee and begin all over again and make yourself into something. ~Peter Jacobsen You are meant to play the ball as it lies, a fact that may help to touch on your own objective approach to life. ~Grantland Rice A golf ball is like a clock.

And runs off with the butcher. ~Jim Murray Golf is essentially an exercise in masochism conducted out-of-doors. ~Paul O'Neil Golf is an open exhibition of overweening ambition, courage deflated by stupidity, skill scoured by a whiff of arrogance. ~Alistair Cooke No game designed to be played with the aid of personal servants by right-handed men who can't even bring along their dogs can be entirely good for the soul. ~Bruce McCall, "The Case Against Golf," Esquire These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow. ~Sam Snead Through years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt. ~Jack Nicklaus, on why he tees his ball high.

Pure pea gravel." ~Jeff Cesario But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls.

Women say these things without thinking. It does not mean that there is a kink in their character. They simply don't realise what they are saying. ~P.G. Wodehouse, Order by Golf, 1922 When I putt, my emotions collide like tectonic plates. It's left my memory circuits full of scars that won't heal. ~Mac O'Grady The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course. ~Billy Graham That son of a bitch was able to hole a putt over 60 feet of peanut brittle. ~Lloyd Mangrum, about Bobby Locke Golf is not, on the whole, a game for realists.

Then you hit it again. ~Lon Hinkle To some golfers, the greatest handicap is the ability to add correctly. ~Author Unknown If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. ~Jack Lemmon I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't play. ~Joe E. Lewis The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has. ~Will Rogers I don't like watching golf on TV. I can't stand whispering. ~David Brenner One almost expects one of the players to peer into the monitor and politely request viewers to refrain from munching so loudly on cheese and crackers while the golfers are trying to reach the greens. ~Pete Alfano Golf without mistakes is like watching haircuts.

Mencken All I've got against it is that it takes you so far from the clubhouse. ~Eric Linklater, Poet's Pub, 1929 Baseball players quit playing and they take up golf. Basketball players quit, take up golf. Football players quit, take up golf. What are we supposed to take up when we quit? ~George Archer A golf course outside a big town serves an excellent purpose in that it segregates, as though a concentration camp, all the idle and idiot well-to-do. ~Osbert Sitwell If you want to take long walks, take long walks. If you want to hit things with sticks, hit things with sticks. But there's no excuse for combining the two and putting the results on TV. Golf is not so much a sport as an insult to lawns. ~National Lampoon, 1979 It's good sportsmanship not to pick up lost balls while they are still rolling. ~Mark Twain Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty. ~Harry Vardon Golf is an ineffectual attempt to put an elusive ball into an obscure hole with implements ill-adapted to the purpose. ~Woodrow Wilson A golfer's diet: live on greens as much as possible. ~Author Unknown Gone golfin'... be back dark thirty. ~Author Unknown Born to golf. Forced to work. ~Author Unknown My body is here, but my mind has already teed off. ~Author Unknown Find a man with both feet firmly on the ground and you've found a man about to make a difficult putt. ~Fletcher Knebel Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at them. ~Jimmy DeMaret May thy ball lie in green pastures... and not in still waters. ~Author Unknown If I hit it right, it's a slice.
