The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
I'll tell you what, I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game.
Fairway: a narrow strip of mown grass that separates two groups of golfers looking for lost balls in the rough.
The green is so narrow that if you over-club, you've got an impossible bunker shot. If you're short, you're pretty much dead.
Whether you're driving it short or you drive it far, you got to be in the fairway because the rough's brutal, and if you get out of the rough into some of these bunkers, you can get some funky lies.
You can, legally, possibly hit and kill a fellow golfer with a ball, and there will not be a lot of trouble because the other golfers will refuse to stop and be witnesses because they will want to keep playing.
If you've ever played golf, you know that you yell 'fore' off the tee. You're not threatening somebody; you're warning them: 'Look, don't get hit by the ball, it's coming.'
The three things I fear most in golf are lightning, Ben Hogan and a downhill putt.
Putting isn't golf, greens should be treated almost the same as water hazards: you land on them, then add two strokes to your score.
If your opponent is playing several shots in vain attempts to extricate himself from a bunker, do not stand near him and audibly count his strokes. It would be justifiable homicide if he wound up his pitiable exhibition by applying his niblick to your head.
While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.
Golf is fun - until you hit somebody in the head.
A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.
You step in a divot or a hole you're not expecting to be there, and it can throw off your timing or your approach.
