Love golf? Funny, thought-provoking, hilarious comments, quotations, and golf stories from PGA Tour players, bestselling writers, politicians, well-known businessmen, and people from all walks of life are in this book - sorry, no cartoons in this book - just fun and interesting sayings and stories about golf.
An amusing creative collection of observations of the game of golf showing golf is very similar to life itself with all its unexpected victories, miracle shots or disastrous results from perfect shots - like Heaven and Hell in one. A wonderful and lifetime reference book for speeches and gatherings.
Bobby Jones said, Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.
Most of us at some point or another have walked off the 18th green swearing to give up the game after an embarrassing disastrous round only to say, Okay when asked to play next week.
Here's just one excerpt: A wife is interested in taking up golf and visits a large retail golf store with her husband to pick out a set of golf clubs. She is amazed at the vast selection on display.
Dear, look at all this equipment! How am I supposed to pick out the right set of clubs?
Finding the right set of clubs is like finding a great wife, replied the husband.
What! Are you comparing me to a set of golf clubs?
I mean you know right away when you found the right one, replied the husband.
Nice recovery, she said.
Thanks. - Rick Newell
Get this book and enjoy and share the observations of many famous people wherever golfers gather especially on the 19th hole.
