    “A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.”
    —Frank Butler (1890–1967)

    “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)

    “And the wind shall say “Here were decent godless people;
    Their only monument the asphalt road
    And a thousand lost golf balls.””
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
