Famous quotes containing the word golf:

    “Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.”
    —Franklin Pierce Adams (1881–1960)

    “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)
