Here are the rules…
Don't
buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.
Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your
swing.
When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either use one more
club or two more balls.
if you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of
you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a
lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway
there.
The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the
golf swing.
No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.
The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one
critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many
other errors.
Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.
A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck.
it is surprisingly easy to hole a 30-foot putt. For a 10.
Counting on your opponent to
inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own
haircut.
Nonchalant putts count the
same as chalant putts.
it's not a gimme if you're
still away.
The shortest distance between
any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through
the center of a very large tree.
You can hit a two acre
fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.
if you really want to get
better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.
Since bad shots come in
groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group
of three.
When you look up, causing an
awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you
ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.
Every time a golfer makes a
birdie, he must subsequently make two double bogeys to restore the fundamental
equilibrium of the universe.
To calculate the speed of a
player's downswing, multiply the speed of his back-swing by his handicap; i.e.,
back-swing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing = 300 mph.
There are two things you can
learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your
hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.
Hazards attract; fairways
repel.
A ball you can see in the
rough from 50 yards away is not yours.
if there is a ball on the
fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. if both balls are
in the bunker, yours is in the footprint
it's easier to get up at 6 AM
to play golf than at 10 AM to mow the grass.
A good drive on the 18th hole
has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.
Golf is the perfect thing to
do on Sunday because you spend more timepraying than you would in church.
A good golf partner is one
who's always slightly worse than you are....that's why i get so many calls to
play with friends.
if there's a storm rolling
in, you'll be having the game of your life.
Golf balls are like eggs.
They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each
week.
it's amazing how a golfer who
never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball
marks, and rake his sand traps.
if your opponent has trouble
remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or
worse)...
it takes longer to learn to
be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand,
you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer and eat hot dogs
when you are performing brain surgery !!!
