Golfing News & Blog Articles

Thoroughly to enjoy golf one should understand and appreciate something of the theory and strategy of the course. It was not built hit or miss, but constructed from principles constructed as axioms after years of trial, as suited to each particular problem. GEORGE THOMAS

In football, I could never figure out why every game had to start with a run off tackle, particularly when it always lost two yards or made no gain. But coaches look at me pityingly when I ask why. And give me an answer studded with obscure definitions of defenses that make me feel as if I asked Einstein to explain the expanding universe.

The neatest thing about playing was my ability to surprise myself. Under pressure sometimes I'd face a real hard shot I'd never played before and pull it off just the way I envisioned it. It's a superhuman feeling. But I'll tell you something about these great shots players hit: A lot of times they end up close to the hole by accident. There's a good chance they didn't hit the shot the way they planned it. Only the player knows how good or bad a shot really was. TOM WEISKOPF
