I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles
G.K. Chesterton
Golf is a good walk spoiled.
Mark Twain
Golf combines two favorite American pastimes: taking long walks and hitting things with a stick
P.J. O'Rourke
Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.
William Wordsworth
If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death
Sam Snead
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies
Will Rogers
They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.
Gardner Dickinson
If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is
Horace G. Hutchinson
It's easy to see golf not as a game at all but as some whey-faced, nineteenth-century Presbyterian minister's fever dream of exorcism achieved through ritual and self-mortification.
Bruce McCall
Golf is a fascinating game. It has taken me nearly forty years to discover that I can't play it.
Ted Ray
Golf is like a love affair. If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart.
Arthur Daley
Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears.
Bobby Jones
I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: it's called an eraser.
Arnold Palmer
Golf, like the measles, should be caught young, for, if postponed to riper years, the results may be serious
