It's not even a good walk - most of the time they
use golf carts.

Over at Harrisville, about a mile from me, they have
a morning "speed" league. The final score doesn't
matter - it's how fast you can get through the back
nine.

It's a scream to watch.

That's my kind of golf.

Here are some golf truisms. The last should appeal to Tom especially.

Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18
years of dealing with him across a desk.
. Grantland Rice

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf
players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.
. John Updike

It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place the world is when
one is playing golf.
. Robert Lynd

If profanity had any influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf
would be played far better than it is.
. Horace G. Hutchinson

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more
complicated than that.
. Gardner Dickinson

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork as poorly as they do a golf
club, they'd starve to death.
. Sam Snead

Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.
. William Wordsworth

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
. Dean Martin

If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of
you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to
pick it up.
. Tommy Bolt

Man blames fate for all other accidents, but feels personally responsible
when he makes a hole-in-one.
. Bishop Sheen

I don't say my golf game is bad, but if I grew tomatoes they'd come up
sliced.
Arnold Palmer

My handicap? Woods and irons.
. Chris Codiroli

The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody would put a flag
stick on top.
. Pete Dye

I'm hitting the woods just great; but having a terrible time getting out
of them!
. Buddy Hackett

The only time my prayers are never answered is playing golf.
. Billy Graham

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf
ball.
Jack Lemmon

It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are
still rolling.
Mark Twain

Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.
. Harry Vardon

Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at
either of them.
Jimmy DeMaret

May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
. Ben Hogan

If I hit it right, it's a slice. If I hit it left, it's a hook. If I hit
it straight, it's a miracle.
. All Us Hackers

The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can't improve
your lie.
. George Deukmejian

Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of a
bagpipe.
Lee Trevino

The only time I use a cart is if I'm playing with someone who can't walk
the course.

I enjoy starting about 7am during the summer. Play is fast, temp is nice,
and the walk is most enjoyable. Of course, a few decent shots makes it more
enjoyable!

Nobody mentioned "The only reason the game[?] is called "golf" is
because all the other four-lettered words have already been taken"

Curiously, golf spelled backwards is flog.

There is a certain symmetry to that me thinks.

I think you've got something there, at least for the first 15 to 20 years.
Then, I hear, it starts getting better.

Golf is an excuse to pass along time for non boaters.
