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

Addressing a golf ball would seem to be a simple matter; that is, to the uninitiated who cannot appreciate that a golf ball can hold more terrors than a spacious auditorium packed with people.

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 the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it.

It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.

If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.

The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
