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.

β€œDo 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.”
-- Harry Vardon

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

β€œAfter all, golf is only a game," said Millicent.
Women say these things without thinking. It does not mean that there is a kink in their character. They simply don't realise what they are saying.
-- P.G. Wodehouse

"A hit must be perfectly timed, but a swing will time itself." -Grantland Rice

A favorite quote because it's a swing thought I can take to the course!

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)

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

"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

Reporter to Sam Snead: "Did (notoriously taciturn) Ben Hogan have anything to say to you during your 18 hole playoff?"

Sam: "Absolutely."

Reporter: "What?"

Sam: "You're away."

I belive it was Gary McCord but not sure.

Sam Snead was good for a few:

"The greens are harder than a *****'s heart."

Q: What abandoned course is that?
A: That sir, is no abandoned course, that is where we play the Open Championship.
(Snead's conversation with a fellow passenger upon arriving by train at St. Andrews and 1946)

"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.)
