[WalkTheCourse]

I'll start.

"Golf is a good walk, spoiled."

~Mark Twain

[Hacker James]

"99 percent of the time, a short putt won't go in"   Trevino??

and of course  "Even God can't hit a one iron".

nothing in particular comes to mind, but I am sure that George Carlin probably had a few.

"99 percent of the time, a short putt won't go in"

and I believe it was Harvey Penick who said that 100% of putts that go PAST the hole don't go in either. ;)

Come to think of it...that was probably the one I was thinking of.  "Take dead straight aim".

now......noting the number of posts I have made in such a short period of time, I get the feeling that I may be wearing out my welcome so I should maybe lay off for awhile.  Too much time on my hands I reackon. Nobody has complained, but a little self discipline might be a good thing.  Later......

A bit dated, but:

[LilGasPasser]

Not really quotes or proverbs, but more like a quip.

Heard this the other day:

I don't have the most "refined" playing partners, and I wouldn't have it any other way...

I don't even need to watch the video to remember what he said.

"Golf isn't a sport, it's an elitist GAME..."

[That is Good]

-Mark Twain
