Famous quotes containing the word golf:

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

    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)

    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)
