GOLF QUOTES
 
My handicap?  Woods and irons.
 
The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody would put a flag stick on top.
 
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
 
Don't play too much golf.  Two rounds a day are plenty.
 
May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
 
If I hit it right, it's a slice.  If I hit it left, it's a hook. If I hit it straight, it's a miracle.
 
Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of a bagpipe.
 
It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place the world is when one is playing golf.
