Famous quotes containing the words putting green, putting and/or green:
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.

“I’d better get right down to the job.
It’s true I don’t want to join the Army or turn lathes in
precision parts factories, I’m nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.

—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

Even where horrible green parrots call and swing.
My works are all stamped down into the sultry mud.”
