What's your favorite quote and why?

Mine...

"You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank" ~ Bobby Jones

Not so much for calling a penalty on himself but an example on how everyone should live their lives, honestly!

Oh yeah and he went to Tech.

I think there are some other quotes from Jones that are more specific to the game, even though this was as well, but it's great in life.



My #2 quote would be...

"Remember Danny - Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left." ~Chevy Chase

I think my favorite golf quote has always been:

The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil. ~Author Unknown

In relation to your #2 quote, one of my favorite lines in the movie:

(Danny, while hitting his approach blindfolded over water): "Where'd it go?"
(Ty - Chevy Chase): "In the lumber yard, Danny..."

I also have a great quote I personally heard Lee Trevino make while watching an exhibition with Tom Watson about 20 years ago, but I'd probably get banned for posting it here.

“Do not be tempted to invest in a sample of each golfing invention as soon as it makes its appearance. If you do so, you will only complicate your game and encumber your locker with much rubbish.”

When you hear someone shout "You da man," if he ain't shouting at Arnold Palmer, then it ain't da man.

My favorite has been for a long time:

"If you like golf, you gotta like that shot!"

As spoken by Chunkin' Charlie - an old guy dieing from cancer but still just enjoying the game in Rick Reilly's book "Missing Links" (still the best golf book ever written in my eyes)

"Golf is like a love affair. If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart." - Arthur Daley

"The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing." - Phyllis Diller

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

The funniest one comes from Lee Trevino:
"If you're caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron." - Lee Trevino

A: That sir, is no abandoned course, that is where we play the Open Championship.

"It's better to be long and inaccurate than short and inaccurate." - John Daly

It's sort of an extension of the way I've always played--hit the ball as hard as I can, and then go look for it. Most of my friends - a fine group of the most glorious hacks we'd make - are the same way. Nothing makes a man look more manly than when he's able to move his golf ball great distances, and I take that literally on the golf course.

(My short game is atrocious... that's another story.)

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
