Favorite golf quote.


SuperDave

Recommended Posts

This may have been done before but thought it may be fun. Golf quotes I know can come from anywhere. From tour pros to movies and authors to poets who never played golf in their lives. I'm sure we will read some great ones. Name person the quote is from if you know.

"Not there"

 

RevKev  almost any round on about any given hole at the Bayou.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches 

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Having played Bayou, I have said that after my shot to the green, OR rev said that when I thought I hit a decent shot.

There are so many good Caddyshack quotes, and I use many of them all the time.  However, I say this one from Chubbs to myself a lot...

 

"Just tap it in... Just tap it in."

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

A few of my favorites in no particular order.

 

"Fake it til you make it" - No idea who said it.  One of my buddies always said as a response to him wearing a nice golf outfit.  It stuck with me.

 

"Be the right club today" - Hal Sutton

 

Judge Smails: Ty, what did you shoot today? 
Ty Webb: Oh, Judge, I don't keep score.

How many times have you played a side wind to move the ball, only to have the ball go perfectly straight??  Here's an old adage that many people here attribute to Kenny B, but I must have heard it somewhere.

 

"A well-struck ball is not affected by the wind."

Heard this one listening to a Golf Channel broadcast of a tour event... likely said by Rich Lerner.

 

"With the right line and the right speed, the ball will go in the cup."   Now that's broadcasting at it's finest!!

Ha, how about:

"Maybe I should've yelled 'Two!'"

- Al Czervik (sort of to Judge Smails)

 

 

But yeah Trevino has some classics, like...

"You can make a lot of money playing golf. Just ask either of my two ex-wives .. they're both so rich their husbands don't have to work."

 

Or...

"My swing is so bad I look like a caveman trying to kill his lunch."

OK not exactly quotes, per se, but Golf mag online has a feature:

 

"18 Most Memorable Golf Movie Scenes Of All Time"

 

http://www.golf.com/extra-spin/18-most-memorable-golf-movie-scenes-all-time

 

Yes, includes Caddy Shack and Tin Cup but also scenes from (yeah!!) Goldfinger plus classic scenes with Fred Astaire and one with Katherine Hepburn; also the (obligatory?) scene from Sideways with ... "What's with all the hostility, man?"

Ok, with best movie scenes there is a deleted Caddyshack scene that's awesome. You can find it on YouTube. It's another Chevy Chase and Bill Murray scene.

A variation that I use quite a bit; mostly on approach shots that are right on the pin, but fall in the bunker...  "Looked good 'til it wasn't."
