Bobby JonesConsidered objectively, it is quite obviously a very simple matter to propel a ball with a stick across some specially prepared ground and into a hole which is of sufficient size to accomodate it by a good margin. Simple that is, provided there is no limit upon the time or the number of strokes required.

The real way to enjoy playing golf is to take pleasure not in the score, but in the execution of strokes.

Golf is like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.

I always like to see a person stand up to a golf ball as though he were perfectly at home in its presence.

The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.

Too much ambition is a bad thing to have in a bunker.

I get as much fun as the next man from whaling the ball as hard as I can and catching it squarely on the button. But from sad experience I learned not to try this in a round that meant anything.
