Famous quotes containing the word golf:

    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)

    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)
