Golf and What It All Means
(From Tee Time Magazine)

- Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies, obscured by the occasional miraclee,
followed by a good bottle of beer.

-Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls.

-Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you!

-An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play, it's always possible to get worse.

-Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins.
And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.

-Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work, and both are expensive.

-The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.


DID YOU KNOW? The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the phrase 'maul it again.' Who knew!


Golfer's who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot,
rarely make a perfect shot.
