Famous quotes containing the word golf:
“Did I make you go insane?
Did I turn up your earphone and let a siren drive through?
Did I open the door for the mustached psychiatrist
who dragged you out like a golf cart?
Did I make you go insane?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.”
—Frank Butler (1890–1967)

Their only monument the asphalt road
And a thousand lost golf balls.””
