I'm a golfaholic, no question about that. Counseling wouldn't help me. They'd have to put me in prison, and then I'd talk the warden into building a hole or two and teach him how to play.
Lee Trevino
Golf is not just an exercise; it's an adventure, a romance... a Shakespeare play in which disaster and comedy are intertwined.
Harold Segall
Golf isn't like other sports where you can take a player out if he's having a bad day. You have to play the whole game
Phil Blackmar
You are meant to play the ball as it lies, a fact that may help to touch on your own objective approach to life.
Grantland Rice
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
Chi Chi Rodriguez
It is more satisfying to be a bad player at golf. The worse you play, the better you remember the occasional good shot.
Nubar Gulbenkian
Play it as it lies" is one of the fundamental dictates of golf. The other is "Wear it if it clashes
Henry Beard
I'd play every day if I could. It's cheaper than a shrink and there are no telephones on my golf cart.
Brent Musburger
Forget your opponents; always play against par.
Sam Snead
Golf is a fascinating game. It has taken me nearly forty years to discover that I can't play it.
Ted Ray
Writing is an escape from a world that crowds me. I like being alone in a room. It's almost a form of meditation- an investigation of my own life. It has nothing to do with "I've got to get another play
Neil Simon
It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity. It is when we all play safe that fatality will lead us to our doom. It is in the "dark shade of courage" alone that the spell can be broken.
Dag Hammarskjld
We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.
Alan Watts
