I read a quote from Payne Stewart yesterday "A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing." 
I liked it. What's your favorite golf quote? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

David Feherty Sunday at the Shark Shootout when Charley Hoffman chunked his chip: "If he would have hit any farther behind that ball we would have had to add it to yesterday's score" 😂

This is funny, because both of the two quotes listed so far aren't really true.

"A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing." 

Someone with a bad attitude and a great golf swing is going to produce better scores than someone with a great attitude but a horrible golf swing.

People make it on the PGA tour because of their physical skills, not because of their mental skills.

Here's 16 pages about the mental game and it's relative lack of importance

That's funny. I took the quote to mean something completely different. I wasn't thinking of it as how to shoot the lowest score. I was thinking of it as who would Payne rather spend time with? Or would who Payne rather have in his foursome? In my imagination Payne doesn't want to spend time with either, but somebody with a bad attitude would be WORSE than somebody with a bad golf swing. Like maybe Payne can help the person with the bad swing, but there's nothing he can do for the person with the bad attitude.

I've always like Lee Trevino's quote

“You don’t know what pressure is until you play for five bucks with only two bucks in your pocket"

There should also be a quote about the walk of shame one makes on their way to an ATM after a round.

I have probably posted this before, but it's still funny. 

Golfer to Caddy: "can I get there with my 7 iron"?

Caddy to Golfer: "Sure you can....eventually".

There are tons of extremely talented golfers that don’t make it due to folding under pressure and that is 100% mental.

I don't think there are as many as you think, but this isn't the topic for it.

Let's stick to some golf quotes, not debating topics with several topics already dedicated to their discussion.

I read it from Lewis Grizzard, but he probably modified it from somewhere else:

Playing St Andrews badly, and missing a shot with a club the caddie suggested, the player said,

"You must be the worst caddie in the world!"

To which the caddie responded,

"That sir, would be to great a coincidence!"

I saw one from Tiger Woods that kink of made me giggle. 

"Achievements on the golf course are not what matters, decency and honesty are what matter."

Kind of ironic in light of what happened with Tiger.

I have absolutely no idea where I heard this, but it definitely is not mine.

"There are two parts to golf. One part is fun. The other is putting."

Can anyone places this for me?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
