Peter Jacobsen

No one ever swung too slowly.
Bobby Jones

Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.

Golf is the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it.
Bobby Jones

You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.

What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.

Arnold Palmer

Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.
Arnold Palmer

The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.
Arnold Palmer

It’s a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
Arnold Palmer

Golf is the most useless outdoor game ever devised to waste the time and try the spirit of man.
Westbrook Pegler

A golf ball is like a clock. Always hit it at 6 o’clock and make it go toward 12 o’clock. But make sure you’re in the same time zone.

Chi Chi Rodriguez

I don’t exaggerate — I just remember big.

Chi Chi Rodriguez

The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.
Will Rogers

I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will Rogers

The woods are full of long drivers.
Harvey Penick

Real golfers, no matter what the provocation, never strike a caddie with the driver. The sand wedge is far more effective.
Huxtable Pippey

If you think your hands are more important in your golf swing than your legs, try walking a hole on your hands.
Gary Player

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.
Gary Player

Golf is the cruelest game, because eventually it will drag you out in front of the whole school, take your lunch money and slap you around.
Rick Reilly

Golf is 20 percent mechanics and technique. The other 80 pecent is philosophy, humor, tragedy, romance, melodrama, companionship, camaraderie, cussedness and conversation.
Grantland Rice

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

Golf gives you an insight into human nature, your own, as well as your opponent’s.
Grantland Rice

My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered.
Lord Robertson

Golf is a game in which the ball lies poorly and the players well.
Art Rosenbaum

A passion, an obsession, a romance, a nice acquaintanceship with trees, sand, and water.
Bob Ryan

You can’t call it a sport. You don’t run, jump, you don’t shoot, you don’t pass. All you have to do is buy some clothes that don’t match.
Steve Sax

A golf course outside a big town serves an excellent purpose in that it segregates, as though a concentration camp, all the idle and idiot well-to-do.
Osbert Sitwell

It’s so bad I could putt off a tabletop and still leave the ball halfway down the leg.

Sam Snead

If some players took a fork to their mouths the way they take the club back, they’d starve to death.
Sam Snead

There are no short hitters on the tour anymore – just long and unbelievably long.
Sam Snead

Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
Sam Snead

There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
Lee Trevino

It’s good sportsmanship not to pick up lost balls while they are still rolling.
Mark Twain

Golf is a good walk spoiled.
Mark Twain

The golf swing is like a suitcase into which we are trying to pack one too many things.
John Updike

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.
John Updike

Don’t play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.
Harry Vardon

If your opponent is playing several shots in vain attempts to extricate himself from a bunker, do not stand near him and audibly count his strokes. It would be justifiable homicide if he wound up his pitiable exhibition by applying his niblick to your head.
Harry Vardon

Art said he wanted to get more distance. I told him to hit it and run backward.
Ken Venturi, on Art Rosenbaum

The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree.

Columbus went around the world in 1492. That isn’t a lot of strokes when you consider the course.
Lee Trevino

I’m not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they’d come up sliced.
