Famous quotes containing the word golf:

    “emerald as heavy
    as a golf course, ruby as dark
    as an afterbirth,
    diamond as white as sun
    on the sea ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.”
    —Franklin Pierce Adams (1881–1960)

    “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)
