Some wise golf quotes:
Isn’t it fun to go out on the course and lie in the sun?
It takes six years to make a golfer: three to learn the game, then another three to unlearn all you have learned in the first three years.
You might be a golfer when you arrive at that stage, but more likely you are just starting.
When you hear someone shout “You da man,” If he ain’t shouting at Tiger Woods then it ain’t da man.
