Golf Explained

 1. Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies
   obscured by the occasional miracle.

2. "I wish I could play my normal game...just once."

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

4. If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the
   snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip:   Your
   life is in trouble.

5. Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the
   shot rarely make a perfect shot.

6. The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the phrase
   "maul it again."

7. A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two
   golfers...neither of whom can putt very well.

8. An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly
   you play; it is always possible to get worse.

9. Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice
   it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green.
   The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really
   stink.

10. I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't
   play.

11. If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme
   Putt", you might wish to reconsider this game.

12. Achieving a certain level of success in golf is only
   important if you can finally enjoy the level you've reached
   after you've reached it.

13. Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.

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

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

16. To some golfers, the greatest handicap is the ability to add
   correctly.

17. In golf, some people tend to get confused with all the
   numbers... they shoot a "six," yell "fore" and write "five."

18. Swing easy. Hit hard.

19. If you find yourself pleased that you locate more balls in
   the rough than you actually have lost, your focus is totally
   wrong and your personality might not be right for golf...it
   is also just a matter of time before the IRS investigates
   your business.

20. Why is it twice as difficult to hit a ball over water than
   sand?

21. 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.
