Famous quotes containing the word golf:

    A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.
    Frank Butler (1890–1967)

    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)

    Did I make you go insane?
    Did I turn up your earphone and let a siren drive through?
    Did I open the door for the mustached psychiatrist
    who dragged you out like a golf cart?
    Did I make you go insane?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
