THURSDAY THIRTEEN - Quotes about Golf

Photobucket


In Europe, if you are not born with a golf club in your with authentic lace decorated craddle, it is a must to play golf if you wish to be somebody and to be considered as a distinguised, posh, (but not always well educated) person belonging to the so said upper class.
Before you know if the man is married, widow or bachelor if he has a dog or a cat he would tell you in the first 3 minutes that he is playing golf. This is good for his selfesteem.

Here are 13 funny quotes about Golf

2. The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can’t see people laughing.

3. I’m not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they’d come up sliced.

4. Golf is a good walk spoiled.

7. You play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.

8. The worst part of playing golf, by far, is hitting the ball.

9. Don’t play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.

10. Golf is an expensive way of playing marbles.

11. Golf is a game, not a sport.

12. The uglier a man’s legs are, the better he plays golf — it’s almost a law.

  2. This is interesting. I had a golf phase (read: obsession) a couple of years ago. I haven't played since I sprained my wrist & my friends don't play anymore. I can't play by myself because I need someone to watch where my ball goes..(lol)..evidently not a very good golfer..:)Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Y.
