A Little Golf Wit from Uncle Bob

Uncle Bob Newland (L) and Jack McCullough of Franklin, Tenn (R) in 2001 at Caledonia Golf and Fish Club in Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

My Uncle Bob sent me some statements on golf. He must have noticed I have beem slacking a little and wanted to give me some material. That brings up a good point. If you see something worth reading, send it to me. That would make this a lot easier and probably more fun to read! Have a good day and thanks uncle Bob!


Many a truth is told in jest....Perspectives on Golf

Golf can be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer

Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins.

On top of that, the winner buys the drinks.

"I wish I could play my normal game...just once."

"Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls."

If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble.

Golfers who try to make everything perfect before taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.

The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the phrase "maul it again."

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ... neither of whom can putt very well.

An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play; it is always possible to get worse.

I play in the low 80s. If it's any hotter than that, I won't play. –Bob Hope

Achieving a certain level of success in golf is only important if you can finally enjoy the level you've reached after you've reached it.

Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is you.

Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it won't work, and both are expensive.

The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.

To some golfers, the greatest handicap is the inability to add correctly.

In golf, some people tend to get confused with all the numbers... they shoot a six, yell fore and write five.
