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)

    [T]he people seem to have deposited the monarchical and taken up the republican government with as much ease as would have attended their throwing off an old and putting on a new suit of clothes.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    We are born with luck
    which is to say with gold in our mouth.
    As new and smooth as a grape,
    as pure as a pond in Alaska,
    as good as the stem of a green bean
    we are born and that ought to be enough....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
