“If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”
Paul Gallico
“Golf is a good walk spoiled.”
Mark Twain
“[So golf is trying to get used to the fact that the man who will rule the game for the next 20 years shaves twice a week and has been drinking legally for almost three months now.] He's more dominant over the guys he's playing against than I ever was over the ones I played against, ... He's so long, he reduces the course to nothing. Absolutely nothing.”
Jack Nicklaus
“The very first thing that you take out of your bag should be a good attitude, if not, you'll miss out on the most rewarding part of golf.”
Bobby W. Miller
“Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.”
Arnold Palmer
“Show me a man who is a good loser and I'll show you a man who is playing golf with his boss.”
Jim Murray
“Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.”
P. G. Wodehouse
