Putting Green

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 (1899–1961)

    He is one of those that deserve very well, but are very awkward at putting their Talents within the Observation of such as should take Notice of them.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    As the shade went up
    And the ambulance came crashing through the dust
    Of the new day, the moon and the sun and the stars,
    And the iceberg slowly sank
    In the volcano and the sea ran far away
    Yellow over the hot sand, green as the green trees.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
