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)

    If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.
    Paul Gallico (1897–1976)

    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)
