I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.
Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
All other things being equal, greens break to the west.
Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
