Winston Churchill
The fundamental problem with golf is that every so often, no matter how lacking you may be in the essential virtues required of a steady player, the odds are that one day you will hit the ball straight, hard, and out of sight. This is the essential frustration of this excruciating sport. For when you've done it once, you make the fundamental error of asking yourself why you can't do this all the time. The answer to this question is simple: the first time was a fluke

Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I've played the game for 40 years and I still haven't the slightest idea how to play.

Golf is an exercise in Scottish pointlessness for people who are no longer able to throw telephone poles at each other
