If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.

Gilbert K. Chesterton Writer

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

Gilbert K. Chesterton Writer

Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.

Gilbert K. Chesterton Writer

The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.

Gilbert K. Chesterton Writer

When you make a mistake, the ocean gives you an instant reminder. You get punished. If golf clubs could shock you every time you hit the ball wrong, we'd probably learn how to play golf pretty well.

Laird Hamilton Surfer

I used to play golf with a guy who cheated so badly that he once had a hole in one and wrote down zero on the scorecard.

Bob Bruce Baseball Player

Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder. Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable.

A. P. Herbert Novelist

They say that golf isn't a contact sport. Not the way that we play it

Alice Cooper Singer-Songwriter

To get an elementary grasp of the game of golf, a human must learn, by endless practice, a continuous and subtle series of highly unnatural movements, involving about sixty-four muscles, that result in a seemingly natural swing, taking two seconds to begin and end.

Alistair Cooke Journalist

The chief object of every golf architect or greenkeeper worth his salt is to imitate the beauties of nature so closely as to make his work indistinguishable from nature itself.

Alister Mackenzie Golf Course Architect
