I Can Play The Game Only One

One Reason Golf Is Such An Exasperating Game Is That A Thing We Learned Is So Easily Forgotten, And We Find Ourselves Struggling Year After Year With Faults We Had Discovered And Corrected Time And Again.

On The Golf Course, A Man May Be The Dogged Victim Of Inexorable Fate, Be Struck Down By An Appalling Stroke Of Tragedy, Become The Hero Of Unbelievable Melodrama, Or The Clown In A Side-splitting Comedy.

In Golf, The Customs And Etiquette And Decorum Are As Important As The Rules Of Play.

Bobby Jonesconsidered Objectively, It Is Quite Obviously A Very Simple Matter To Propel A Ball With A Stick Across Some Specially Prepared Ground And Into A Hole Which Is Of Sufficient Size To Accomodate It By A Good Margin. Simple That Is, Provided There Is No Limit Upon The Time Or The Number Of Strokes Required.

I Have Never Felt So Lonely As On A Golf Course In The Midst Of A Championship With Thousands Of People Around, Especially When Things Began To Go Wrong And The Crowds Started Wandering Away.
