About this title

Synopsis

"This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win." --Ben Hogan

"Golf is so popular because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad." --A. A. Milne

"No one has ever conquered this game. One week out there and you are god; next time you are the devil." --Juli Inkster

"I just hitch up my girdle and let'er fly." --Babe Didrickson Zaharias

Here is a rich compendium of golf quotes that reflect the history, tradition, agony, and ecstasy of the game. Organized into categories such as "Golf Defined," "The Mental Game," "Men Touring," "Women touring," "Caddies," "Obstacles," and "Practice."

The Quotable Golfer includes words of wisdom from some of the game's most famous practitioners:

* Bobby Jones * Tommy Bolt * Harvey Penick * P.G. Wodehouse * Sammy Davis Jr. * Jack Lemmon * Lee Trevino * Tiger Woods * Bob Hope * Jack Nicklaus * Michael Murphy * Gerald R. Ford * Laura Davies * JoAnne Carner * John Updike * Sam Snead * Annika Sorenstam * Grantland Rice

This is a great gift book and a great book to browse and read when the weather isn't suited to eighteen holes of golf.
