"No one will ever have golf under his thumb. No round will ever be so good it could not have been better. Perhaps this is why golf is the greatest of games. You are not playing a human adversary; you are playing a game. You are playing old man par."
-Bobby Jones
"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening- and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."
-Arnold Palmer
"I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game."
-Ben Hogan
