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. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
“I had some short struggle in my mind whether I should resign my lover or my liberty, but this lasted not long. I found myself as free as air and could not bear the thought of putting myself in any mans power for life only from a present capricious inclination.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
“Time kills me terribly.
Time shall not murder you, He said,
Nor the green nought be hurt;
Who could hack out your unsucked heart,
O green and unborn and undead?
I saw time murder me.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
