“There are several ways," he said shyly, "in which I'm trying to improve myself. I have a great many books and records and now I'm learning to play golf. Do you know golf, Sister? The English think it's a very serious game. I was going to learn a much more serious game called cricket, but you need twenty two people...”

“People who don’t play golf pro to envy their golfing neighbors, admiring it as a nifty game you can play to a ripe old age. What they don’t understand is that we don’t keep playing because we can; we play because we don’t know how to stop. It lands in our hands for just a moment before slipping through our fingers, and we grab for it again and again. It’s a shell game, a music man, a three-card monte from which we can’t walk away. Once in a while it glances back at us, and it’s achingly beautiful. A siren? Perhaps. But those sailors at least got the closure of wrecking on the rocks. Golfers find the rocks and just drop another ball.”

“Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.”

“My parents were delighted that I was getting the help I needed, although I did not fully disclose the details of my living situation with them. While I was growing up, my projected role in the family was to always be the strong one. I was the mediator, or “Miss Perfectâ€� as some family members would say, so I was usually clear on what I told them. With my traumatic brain injury, it was a bit different, so I didn’t share much of the daily happenings with my parents, except for the therapy sessions.”

“Golf is like everything else. You plan. Then real life intervenes.”
― Michael Bamberger, The Second Life of Tiger Woods

becoming progressively more manic as the day went along.”
― Don Walin, The Crazy Golf Pro: My Journey with Bipolar Disorder

“Being behind bars is a degrading and humiliating experience. And I deserved to be there. I had to pay the consequences for driving drunk and causing an accident. In the end, I got off really lucky.”
― Don Walin, The Crazy Golf Pro: My Journey with Bipolar Disorder

“I went out with some FBI agents and knocked the ball into all eighteen holes. It wasn’t hard but once you’ve done it, I don’t know why you’d want to do it again.”

“Scientists from Plymouth University and Durham University found that red also boosted the football playersâ€� confidence, where the 68 top English teams from 1946 to 2013 won more games than they lost when they wore this winning color.
Famed golf star Tiger Woods, who has won many games and golf championships wearing a red shirt, missed the cut at the May 2019 PGA Championship. Unsurprisingly, he was wearing a black shirt that day.”

“That is the dream - that someday we really will know our game, that golf won't always be lurking a few hundred more yards down the fairway.
It isn't just a dream for the helpless golfhead. Everyone who has made contact with a golf ball understands a piece of the game's spirit. It's there as your hands fall towards the ball, just before your club tears the turf, when anything might happen and you can still wonder....what if?
We confess it every time we tee it up, we speak it in our sleep, we feel it as we watch our ball go jumping off the screws - we love this game. What if we could give it everything just for a little while? How much would it love us back?”
― Tom Coyne, Paper Tiger: An Obsessed Golfer's Quest to Play with the Pros

“Without warning, something struck me in the head. It felt like a railroad tie had been driven through the top of my head, into my skull, and out my left eye socket. The pain was excruciating, as if a bowling ball had fallen on my head, and shuddered through my whole body.”
― Kathleen Klawitter, Direct Hit: A Golf Pro's Remarkable Journey back from Traumatic Brain Injury

“Later, I learned a golfer was hitting from the ninth tee with his comrades. He had been drinking a few beers and thought he could drive the green. His aim was dangerously off, and he managed to hit the golf ball over the clubhouse, a mere 200 yards away. To my misfortune, it struck me on the head with the force of something much larger. My young, vibrant, and motivated life, as I knew it, changed in an instant.”

“Many items with batteries were going on fire in the hurricane Ian aftermath: Electric cars, golf carts, electronic products and so on.”
― Steven Magee

“Sport and sportsmanship, like collecting, are words capable of diverse interpretation. Smiting a diminutive white ball and riding after it in a small vehicle to see where it went (golf is such good exercise) is sport of a sort; so is sitting in a stick hut on a marsh making oral sexual advances to passing ducks.”
― Ivor Noël Hume, All the Best Rubbish: The Classic Ode to Collecting

“All the while, an intensely personal real-time documentary was being shot, with the help of seventy-five CBS cameras, about a man, private by nature but famous by deed, trying to reclaim a lost life while starting a new one, and doing so with millions of people watching.”
