1. Winston Churchill: "Golf is like chasing an Aspirin pill around a cow pasture."
2. Jack Benny: "Give me the fresh air, a beautiful woman, and a nice round of golf, and you can keep the fresh air and the round of golf."
3. Lee Trevino: "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 husbands work."
4. Tommy Bolt, toward the end of one of his infamous high-volume,
temperamental, club-throwing rounds, asked his caddie for a club
recommendation for a shot of about 155 yards. His caddie said, "I'd say
either a 3-iron or a wedge, sir." "A 3-iron or a wedge?" asked Bolt.
"What kind of stupid choice is that?" "Those are the only two clubs you have left, sir," said the caddie.
5. Hank Aaron: "It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course."
6. Lee Trevino: "Columbus went around the world in 1492. That isn't a lot of
strokes when you consider the course."
7. Lee Trevino: "I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew
tomatoes, they'd come up sliced."
8. Sam Snead: "These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the
ball and hit it with the shadow."
9. Paul Harvey: "Golf is a game in which you yell "fore," shoot six, and
write down five."
10. Tommy Bolt, about the tempers of modern players: "They throw their clubs backwards, and that's wrong. You should always throw a club ahead of you so that you don't have to walk any extra distance to get it."
11. Tommy Bolt: "Putting allows the touchy golfer two to four opportunities to blow a gasket in the short space of two to four feet."
12. Jimmy Demaret: "Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy
without being good at."
13. Jack Lemmon: "If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball."
14. Lee Trevino: "If you're caught on a golf course during a storm and are
afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron."
15. Unknown: "Fifty years ago, 100 white men chasing one black man across a field was called the Ku Klux Klan. Today it's called the PGA Tour."
16. John Updike: "Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how
childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to
count past five."
17. Jay Leno: "The people who gave us golf and called it a game are the same people who gave us bag pipes and called it music."
18. Gerald Ford: "I would like to deny all allegations by Bob Hope that
during my last game of golf, I hit an eagle, a birdie, an elk and a moose."
19. P.G. Wodehouse: "The least thing upsets him on the links. He missed
short putts because of the uproar of butterflies in the adjoining meadows."
20. Bob Hope: "If I'm on the course and lightning starts, I get inside
fast. If God wants to play through, let Him."
21. Ken Harrelson: "In baseball you hit your home run over the right-field
fence, the left-field fence, the center-field fence. Nobody cares. In golf everything has got to be right over second base."
22. Chi Chi Rodriguez: "The first time I played the Masters, I was so nervous I drank a bottle of rum before I teed off. I shot the happiest 89 of my life."
23. 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."
2. Jack Benny: "Give me the fresh air, a beautiful woman, and a nice round of golf, and you can keep the fresh air and the round of golf."
