- Golf is a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do. – Bruce Crampton
- I’ve heard people say putting is 50 percent technique and 50 percent mental. I really believe it is 50 percent technique and 90 percent positive thinking, see, but that adds up to 140 percent, which is why nobody is 100 percent sure how to putt. – Chi Chi Rodriguez
- Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. – Arnold Palmer
- Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course… the space between your ears. – Bobby Jones
- Find a good teacher that will keep the game fun. Work hard and don’t be afraid to have success or disappointment. That is what golf is all about. – Paula Creamer
- But in the end it’s still a game of golf, and if at the end of the day you can’t shake hands with your opponents and still be friends, then you’ve missed the point. – Payne Stewart
- They call it golf because all the other four letter words were taken. – Ray Floyd
- Golf is won on 6 inches of real-estate! The space between your ears! – The Grateful Golfer
- 100% of short putts never go in! – The Grateful Golfer
- If you want to test your ability to handle pressure, make difficult decisions, and to conquer self-doubt; I suggest you take up golf! – The Grateful Golfer
- Self-talk empowers….self-doubt erodes a golfer’s confidence. – The Grateful Golfer

Glad you could see the funny side. Another really great quote came from Tiger.
The more I practice, the luckier I get.
He said to someone who asked him if he was just a lucky golfer.

That is a good quote from Tiger! I think most stuff is funny especially if it is delivered with the intent of joking around. I dish out quite a bit, so I have to be able to take it as well.
