Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards - Golf Quotes

Quotes of the Day

As all souls are equal before their Maker, a two inch putt counts the same as a 250 yard drive. There is a comedy in this and a certain unfairness even, which makes golf an even apter mirror of reality

I’ll always remember the day I broke ninety. I had a few beers in the clubhouse and was so excited I forgot to play the back nine.

The number one thing about trouble is…don’t get into more

I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games
