Golf It’s A Funny Old Game

The Funniest Quotes About Golf (Quotes For Every Occasion Book 3)

A book for Golf Nuts everywhere.

“Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle.” – David Feherty

For us rabbits the game of golf is a constant battle between fantasy and reality. The great hopes and ambitions that accompany us on the first tee quickly evaporate by a combination of mother nature, gravity and the cruelest of luck.

One of the charms of the Great Game is that we are constantly chasing what is, in theory, attainable but in reality highly elusive. It is a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

It is astonishing how long the occasional miracle can remain in the memory to the total eclipse of all else. Golf is a game whose hook is baited with hope.

This book is a compendium of quotes from players who have been similarly troubled by the journey from great hopes to cruel reality.

I hope you enjoy their reflections. A perfect golfing gift for men or women

The Funniest Quotes Book is a highly entertaining and clever compilation of quotes. I'm enjoying my own copy, but for me it's great value is that can serve as thinking-of-you gifts that will be actually appreciated and enjoyed rather than being stuck on a back shelf. Caution: don't put a copy in your guest bath or you may not see your visitor for a very long time.

Personally, I am obsessed with gaining knowledge ( a nerd for good non-fiction books, I guess). The bible says to gain knowledge to gain wisdom. How else can it be done? I find no other way that to search, read, study what individuals much smarter than me have experienced. With this book, you are looking across several hundred years (maybe over 1,000 years) of knowledge and wisdom, gained. You are only given approximately 70 years, plus or minus, to experience and learn. Not long, right? By reading biographies and quotes of many people you can have access to a thousand years experiences, and knowledge, to gain wisdom, which makes all of our lives richer and happier, in may ways. Few people seem to understand this and fewer still, even care. It's the rare few who do, who become the movers and shakers on this planet.

This book will not be for everyone. It will appeal to people with a philosophical outlook who give a lot of thought to all aspects of life and of human behaviour. The great majority of quotes here, and there are a mountain of them, have something important to say and be considered. (eg.- 'illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States, ask any Indian!') Many, many are also very funny - a great book and HIGHLY recommended. Thanks - Terry.
