Quotes of the Day

The golf swing has been endlessly analyzed, and yet it still remains a mystery. And only one secret has emerged, one swing of thought that always works. And that thought is: Don’t think. But you can’t just forget not to think. You must remember not to remember to think.

According to the Captain of The Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, striking your opponent or caddie at St Andrews, Hoylake or Westward Ho! meant that you lost the hole, except on medal days when it counted as a rub of the green.

The hardest shot in golf is a mashie at 90 yards from the green, where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces on the green and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult I have made it only once.

A well hit golf shot is a feeling that goes up the shaft, right through your hands and into your heart.

He enjoys that perfect peace, that peace beyond all understanding, which comes at its maximum only to the man who has given up golf.
