The Gospel According to St. Titleist
1. Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk.
-- Grantland Rice

-- Robert Lynd
4. 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
5. They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

-- Sam Snead
7. Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.
-- William Wordsworth
8. If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
-- Dean Martin
9. 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
10. Man blames fate for all other accidents, but feels personally responsible when he makes a hole-in-one.
-- Bishop Sheen
11. I don't say my golf game is bad, but if I grew tomatoes they'd come up sliced.
-- Arnold Palmer
12. My handicap? Woods and irons.
-- Chris Codiroli
13. The ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody would put a flag stick on top.
-- Pete Dye
14. I'm hitting the woods just great; but having a terrible time getting out of them!
-- Buddy Hackett
15. The only time my prayers are never answered is playing golf.
-- Billy Graham
16. If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
-- Jack Lemmon
17. It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.

19. Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at either of them.
-- Jimmy DeMaret
20. May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.

21. 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.

22. The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie.
-- George Deukmejian
23. Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of a bagpipe.
-- Lee Trevino
24. Reason they call it golf is cuz all the other four-letter words were taken.
-- Woody Woodbury
Finally:
25. The No. 1 Golf rule you MUST follow: take the car keys and cell phone out of your golf bag before you throw it into the creek.
-- Ano
