No-one will ever have golf under his thumb. No round ever will be so good it could not have been better. Perhaps this is why golf is the greatest of games. You are not playing a human adversary; you a playing a game. You are playing old man par.

Golf is a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.

The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
