The Palmer Salad at the Bay Hill Club costs $3.95, which is 45 cents more than the Caesar Salad. Caesar might have looked good on a chariot, but he never mounted a charge like Arnie.

Lure of the Links
The links giveth and the links taketh away.
It can be cruel and beautiful in the same round, occasionally on the same hole, and once in a while on the same shot. When you figure out all the equations properly and the shot comes off as intended, nothing is more satisfying.

Stop Making Sense
Golf is a dumb game. Hitting the ball is the fun part of it, but the fewer times you hit the ball the more fun you have.
Does that make any sense?

Open vs Open
The is the biggest difference between the two Opens…I can prepare for the U.S. Open on the range. But I can only prepare for the (British) Open on the course.

Living With The Indignity
Tiger shot a smooth 44 on his first nine as the defending champ in the third round of Jack’s Memorial Tournament. As he walked from the first tee on Saturday, coming off that atrocious triple on the 18th — his ninth hole — a fan yelled a sobering thought:
“Hey, you’re going to wake up tomorrow and you’re still going to be Tiger Woods”.

Sex Appeal
“No offense, Arnold, but I think she’s going to sell more tea than you.”

Retrievers
Golfers who carry ball retrievers are gatherers, not hunters. They’ve given up the chase. They’ve climbed as far up the hill as they can climb, and now the paths lead only down. They’ve stopped tinkering with their grip. They don’t practice in the sand. Their dreams are no longer of conquest, but only of salvage.

Managing Intention
The object of golf architecture is to give an intelligent purpose to the striking of a golf ball.

Golf’s DNA
Golf is twenty percent mechanics and technique. The other eighty percent is philosophy, humor, tragedy, romance, melodrama, companionship, camaraderie, cussedness, and conversation.
