I'm interested in the modern, not the Ancient. There's nothing wrong with the St Andrews course that 100 bulldozers couldn't put right. The Old Course needs a dry clean and a press. - Ed Furgol
If I had my way the social status of professional golfers would be one notch below that of Nazi war criminals. - Andy Lyons, Melody Maker
Soccer is a simple-minded game for simple people; golf is merely an expensive way of leaving home. - Michael Parkinson
A golf player is someone who can drive 70 miles an hour in heavy traffic with perfect ease; but blows up on a two-foot putt if somebody coughs. - Anon
St Andrews 13th (Hole o' Cross Coming Home) - It's a great golf hole. It gives you a million options, not one of them worth a damn. - Tom Kite
Golf balls are attracted to water as unerringly as the eye of a middle-aged man to a female bosom. - Michael Green
Gimme: an agreement between two losers who can't putt. - Jim Bishop

93 - Quote/Unquote...
Real golfers, no matter what the provocation, never strike a caddie with the driver. The sand wedge is far more effective. - Huxtable Pippey
The hardest shot is the chip at 90 yards from the green where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces onto the green, and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult; I have only made it once. - Zeppo Marx
The most exquisitely satisfying act in the world of golf is that of throwing a club. The full backswing, the delayed wrist action, the flowing follow-through, followed by that unique whirring sound, reminiscent only of a passing flock of starlings, are without parallel in sport. - Henry Longhurst
One of the nice things about the Senior Tour is that we can take a cart and a cooler. If your game is not going well, you can always have a picnic. - Lee Trevino
Like all Saturday foursomes it is in difficulties. One of the patients is zigzagging about the fairway like a liner pursued by submarines. - P. G. Wodehouse
The average golfer doesn't play golf. He attacks it. - Jackie Burke
My golf game's gone off so much that when I went fishing a couple of weeks ago my first cast missed the lake. - Ben Crenshaw

I'd rather watch a cabbage grow, than a man worrying his guts over a two-foot putt. - Michael Parkinson
If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt. - Dean Martin
