Famous quotes containing the word golf:

    “If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.”
    —Paul Gallico (1897–1976)

    “emerald as heavy
    as a golf course, ruby as dark
    as an afterbirth,
    diamond as white as sun
    on the sea ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “And the wind shall say “Here were decent godless people;
    Their only monument the asphalt road
    And a thousand lost golf balls.””
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
