It often gives a lady a pleasure to give her lover a pang. - Arnold Haultain

Don't worry about your caddie. He may be an irritating little wretch; but for eighteen holes he is your caddie.

Golf gives no margin: either you win or you fail. You cannot hedge; you cannot bluff; you cannot give a stop-order; you cannot jilt. One chance is given you, and you hit or miss. There is nothing more rigid in life. And it is just this ultra and extreme rigidity that makes golf so intensely interesting.

In almost all other games you pit yourself against a mortal foe; in golf it is yourself against the world: no human being stays your progress as you drive your ball over the face of the globe.
