With the snow we’ve been having, we are all, especially golphers, wondering when will there be spring. I pass these words of wisdom along:
They say golf is like life. Don’t believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.
If you drink, don’t drive. Don’t even putt!
Bishop Fulton Sheen said “Man blames fate for all other accidents but feels personally responsible when he makes a hole in one.”
Billy Graham said “The only time my prayers are not answered is when I’m playing golf.”
