Golfing Quotes


























Golfing has its own language and descriptions.  Comments and excuses are pretty unique, too.  Here are a few for ya…

1. These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow. ~ Sam Snead
2. I was three over today: One over a house, one over a patio and one over a swimming pool. ~ George Brett

6. I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par. ~ Chi Chi Rodriguez

18. If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. ~ Jack Lemmon

I used to play golf but after years of therapy and bourbon I have finally quit. It didn't drive me to drink but I blame it anyway!

A vice I never acquired, thankfully.

Rat and WSF - I never took up the addiction either. I have too many other reasons to drink without adding Golf to the list. I have things under control now, so why tempt fate and take it up.

Shooting golf balls in flight sounds more interesting. Call me a barbarian if you must.

Irish said...

It's fun on a part time basis. Going with a group of friends and not taking it too serious.

I won't go with the "competitive" guys. It's not fun.

Coffeypot said...

LL - Nope, not Barbarian. Just a man who makes better use of his time. Yep, shooting golf balls in flight would be more fun and shooting skeet.

Irish - I have never played anything more challenging than miniature golf. But, man, those windmills and dinosaurs can be rough.

Momma Fargo said...

Ha. I don't like much golf. It is OK in small doses. I live in the land of the greens. Pitiful isn't it?

Old NFO said...
