Golfing quote that has always stuck with me!

[daftscotsman]

In Edinburgh a few years back, I was about to have a practice round at Braid Hills Golf Club, Edinburgh and approached the first tee... On the first tee there was another 'lonely' golfer and we agreed to pair up.

One of the things he said to me made me laugh, but it has always stuck in my head "You never truely enjoy golf, until you realise that you are sh*t!"

Does anybody else have any favourite golfing quotes or pieces of advice that have made you laugh but at the same time, stuck with you?

One that I remember is "the hole never comes to the ball"
its less corny than never up, never in. I am generally past the hole, sometimes too far on the longer putts, but prefer this to being 6 foot short and never seeing the line closer to the hole.

 

[golfcitydweller]

my grandad always kept tellin me - work hard on ur putting son cause ``u`ll beat a good golfer -but u`ll not beat a good putter`

One my father taught me over 40 years ago is "It is easier to replace the turf, than to re-turf the place." I always replace divots!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I was always told by my dad to play to win but whether you win or lose do it with humility

 

[Smiffy]

My Dad always said to me...."There are three types of golfers. Those that can count, and those that can't".

My Grandfather had a good one to establish a nice easy swing, believe it or not it's "Ease and Grace". He told me it was a quote from Gary Player, it has always helped me keep a nice rhythm with my swing.

My dad said one day after he humped me again look son ,you should have stuck in at the footie cause you'll never be any good at this game. Or his favourite was i've got the joiner coming to rebuild the mantle piece so you and your brother will both fit on it now,auld git

I was once told to cut 5" off of the length of my clubs. "Will I play better" I asked, the pro replied "No but they will fit in the bin easier"

 

[Up_Point_1]

This just about sums it up:

"However badly you are playing, there is always somebody playing worse than you".

UP1.

Hit it as hard as you can, but no harder. I was 6 at the time when my father told me that

[bobmac]

Save yourself the green fee and caddy for someone JK
Take plenty of balls and try to remember, its better than work or christmas shopping with HID

 

[Screwback]

One day i left a putt short my mate said

never up never in laddie as long as you live you will never see the hole move to the ball!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I once got told I wasn't a bad golfer but I was directionally challenged

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

Grip it & Rip it

 

[jammydodger]

Never have to play 2 recovery shots in a row

 

[ADB]

The one that I always remember is:

'A bad day on the golf course is still better than a good day in the office'

sometimes I wonder though...

Nice and easy does it every time.
Think it was Bing or Bob.
