Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
No matter what happens - never give up a hole....In tossing in your cards after a bad beginning you also undermine your whole game, because to quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.
The only place that's holier than St. Andrews is Westminster Abbey.
Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.
