While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake. - Henny Youngman If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.- Jack Lemmon I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool. - George Brett You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their The only sure rule in golf is - he who has the fastest cart husbands work.- Lee Trevino never has to play the bad lie.- Mickey Mantle I’m not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew I’d like to see Tiger play with my bad swing, my swing tomatoes, they’d come up sliced.- Lee Trevino thoughts, and hung over every Sunday. – Half of American Golfers Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you’re not good at them. - Kevin Costner I don’t fear death, but I sure don’t like those three-footers for par. - Chi Chi Rodriguez After all these years, it’s still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye. ~ Chi Chi Rodriguez Swing hard in case you hit it. - Dan Marino My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered. - Lord Robertson Sam Snead: Slammin’ Sammy Snead accumulated 81 PGA Tour victories, the most of any PGA Tour player in history, and had an enviable swipe at the ball. While he didn’t win a ton of majors his 81 victories has assured him a place in golf history. Snead knew something about fundamentals had enviable tempo. Writer Bill Fields said that Sammy’s swing “used to resemble a Faulkner sentence. It was long, laced with the perfect pause and blessed with a powerful finish.” The average touring professional has a nice looking swing but Snead’s was that much smoother. His famous “ism” : If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they’d starve to death. There is no similarity between golf and putting; they aretwo different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.- Ben Hogan Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you’re the best. - Jack Nicklaus

Is Golf Really Better Than Sex ? Consider the Following Arguments made by Golfers: You never have to sneak your golf magazines into the house. If your equipment gets old and rusty, you simply replace it. If you’re really good you can turn pro and do it full time. If you are having trouble with your Putter, it is perfectly acceptable to pay a professional to show you how to improve your techniques. A below par performance is considered darn good. Golfers have a scientific way to figure out their handicap. Bad golfers do not have to take Viagra. The Ten Commandments do not say anything about golf. It’s really hard to gamble on sex. Your don’t get embarrassed about the size of your putter. If your partner takes pictures or videotapes of you golfing, you don’t have to worry about them showing up on the Internet. You can make money doing it as a senior. Your golf partner won’t keep asking questions about other partners you’ve golfed with. It’s perfectly respectable to golf with a total strangers, and even your wife will admit that in golf twosomes are boring. When you see a really good golfer, you don’t have to feel guilty about imagining the two of you golfing together. If your regular golf partner isn’t available, she won’t object if you golf with someone else. Nobody will ever tell you that you will go blind if you golf by yourself.

Your partner doesn’t necessarily hire a lawyer if you do it with someone else. When dealing with a golf pro, you never have to wonder if they are really an undercover cop. You can stop half way through and have a cheeseburger and a couple of beers. You don’t have to go to a sleazy shop in a seedy neighborhood to buy golf stuff. You can have a golf calendar on your wall at the office, tell golf jokes and invite co-workers to golf with you without getting sued for harassment. Three times a day is possible. In golf, it is acceptable to watch how the pros do it on TV, just after completing a round. There is no such thing as a golf transmitted disease. If you want to watch golf on television, you don’t have to subscribe to a premium cable channel. Nobody expects you to promise to golf with just one partner for the rest of your life. Nobody expects you to give up golfing if your partner loses interest in the game. You don’t have to be a newlywed to plan a vacation primarily for the enjoyment of golf. Your golf partner will never say, “What? We just golfed last week! Is that all you ever think about?”
