“It was a morning when all nature shouted "Fore!" The breeze, as it blew gently up from the valley, seemed to bring a message of hope and cheer, whispering of chip-shots holed and brassies landing squarely on the meat. The fairway, as yet unscarred by the irons of a hundred dubs, smiled greenly up at the azure sky; and the sun, peeping above the trees, looked like a giant golf-ball perfectly lofted by the mashie of some unseen god and about to drop dead by the pin of the eighteenth.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, The Heart of a Goof

“You ought to take more exercise, if you're inclined to have a liver. Play golf.”
― Daphne du Maurier, The Birds and Other Stories

“On my drive from Salt Lake City to Moab, Utah, I passed an eighteen-wheeler with mud flaps on the rear tires. The flaps were black and featured the silver silhouette of a very statuesque naked woman. I’m sure you’ve seen this artistic expression in your travels.

I wondered: has this ploy ever worked, like some kind of perverted fishing lure?”
― Jim Flynn, Be Sincere Even When You Don't Mean It

“My instincts have never lied to me.”
― Tiger Woods

“When I was 15, a well off man told me the secret to success was golf. It took me until I became 30 to realize it was the true. Today, you couldn't convince me otherwise.”
― Colleen Ferrary Bader

“A boss once told me, "Colleen, it's not about the meeting, it's about the scotch after the meeting. You either need to learn to drink or take up golf."

Turns out I'm not a good scotch drinker.”
― Colleen Ferrary Bader

“Of all the recreational activities of man, golf had to be the stupidest. The massive effort to beat nature into submission--daily moving, watering, and dousing of chemicals--so a man could pay ninety thousand dollars to push a ball into a hole. It was like they'd deliberately dreamed up the most expensive and ecologically damaging way to enjoy a day in the sun.”
― Maggie Thrash, Strange Lies

“There are many things you can successfully fake in business…but a good golf swing isn’t one of them.”
― Bobby Darnell, Time For Dervin - Living Large In Geiggityville

“I'm a person who is unpractical and idealistic. A rebellious dreamer plagued by night terrors. An affinity for the story of Superman, drinking, sex, jazz, writing, drugs, activism, golf, family, cooking, eating good food, reading books and savoring their hypnotic bouquet, for me, is like stumbling over a rock and recovering my equilibrium. This is the story of me.”
― A.K. Kuykendall

“During one of his incoherent pre-game Pep talks he said he was preparing us in case we ever had to storm the beaches at Iwo Jima. Hey coach, we already won that war! He never mentioned trying to win a game, it was always about killing or hurting the other team. He did mention blood a lot. But if we ever lost, we were required to mope around like it was the worst thing to ever happen in history, and it was definitely our fault, and besides we hadn’t even killed anybody on the other team.”
― Jim Flynn

“No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that's the exciting part”
― Tiger Woods

“Golf has some drawbacks. It's possible, by too much of it, to destroy the mind.”
― Sir W.G. Simpson, Bart.

“Stocks are also like Golf; while you are sure to hit a birdie, eagle, albatross, you wind up hitting one or two over par!”
― Sandeep Sahajpal

“As far as I’m concerned, eighteen holes of golf is the only happiness that money can buy. - Momofuku Ando”
― Andy Raskin

“Though he never articulated it, I know Tiger believed in the idea of the Package. It went along with the sense of destiny his father had passed to him - that he was put on this earth to do something extraordinary with his special qualities, to "let the legend grow."
But those qualities, foremost among them an extraordinary ability to focus and stay calm under pressure, also included selfishness, obsessiveness, stubbornness, coldness, ruthlessness, pettiness, and cheapness.
When they were all at work in the competitive arena, they helped him win. And winning gave him permission to remain a flawed and in some ways immature person.”
― Hank Haney, The Big Miss: My Years Coaching Tiger Woods

“Light is found on the green.”
― J.R. Rim

“With many twists and holes
Life is much like a golf game:
Without bats you cannot Play”

“An expanse of short green grass undulated around sand traps and manicured trees. Up ahead, a multi-winged clubhouse loomed.

“Jesus God,� I muttered. “Ninth circle of hell.�

“I think they have eighteen at courses like this,� Andy said.

“Golf.

The noble game of honour, equality and fair play. Unless, that is, we happen to be packing a few quid in our back pockets, behind the score-card, in which case we can just pull out our custom made precision driver, with adjustable perimeter weighting and heavy bias in our favour, and hoick for six* our unique, spherically-tiled, tetrahedral, catenary, aerody¬namic ball � plus any remaining notion of glory, parity and fairness.

See you on the green.

*A cricketing term, usually referring to someone with fortune on their side, who’s not playing with a straight bat**.
**Another cricketing term.”
― Martin Boronte, I Mean It, Daphne!

“He loved the game. The battle that raged inside each player's head. The little ball that sat motionless, defying you to hit it. No defenders, no game clock, no excuses. And maybe that's why the highs were so high and the lows felt so low. Could you in the moment quiet your thoughts and execute? It was glorious when you did!”
― Philip Wyeth, Chasing the Best Days

“That made sense to me. More than any sport I know golf provides an all-encompassing code. The game's unwritten rules elicit socially redeeming behavior; when a match is over, you shake your opponent's hand. The game's written regulations place all players on an equal footing; everybody starts from behind the tee markers. Golf is a world unto itself.

Standing at the head of a course in the early light of a late-summer day, with the fog lifting and the sheep bleating grass clippings sticking to the sides of your shoes and the air smelling of damp wool, the golf course is a sanctuary. You wonder: What's in store for me today? There's hope in your voice, of course. Without hope, there is no golf.”
― Michael Bamberger, To the Linksland: A Golfing Adventure

“Because it gives us energy, Michael, that's the single best thing about the game. The better we play, the more energy we get. From now on, ask yourself, after every round, if you have more energy than before you began. 'Tis much more important than the score, Michael, much more important than the score.”
― Michael Bamberger, To the Linksland: A Golfing Adventure

“R U a Good Golfer? . . .The Only good golfers are on TV . . .the rest of us suck”
― Kevin Kolenda

“Into golf I cannot follow him; partly because I have never played, and partly because I like socialism in games, and the idea of employing a caddie will always be unpleasant to me.”
― Edward Verrall Lucas, Over Bemerton's, An Easy-Going Chronicle

“I have come to the conclusion that the golfing temperament is essentially aristocraticâ€� a feudal inheritance â€� the property exclusively of those who can see nothing absurd or even degrading in the spectacle of powerful frivolous men being followed by boys of burden.”
― Edward Verrall Lucas, Over Bemerton's, An Easy-Going Chronicle
