By Ross Krapfel

 

It's always good to have a few golf quotes in your mental holster to dish out on the course or when you're watching on TV-- and not just the corny ones your dad or uncle mention every round. After doing some research and talking amongst the Nextgengolf team, we've compiled a list of the ten best golf quotes of all time.  

  1. “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots -- but you have to play the ball as it lies.” - Bobby Jones
  1. If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.” - Lee Trevino
       3. "A routine is not a routine if you have to think about it.” -Davis Love Jr.
  1. Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you're the best.” - Jack Nicklaus

  1. “Of all the hazards, fear is the worst” - Sam Snead
  1. "I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: It's called an eraser." - Arnold Palmer
  1. "A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill." - Ben Hogan
  1. “Golf is about how well you accept, respond to, and score with your misses much more so than it is a game of your perfect shots.” -Dr Bob Rotella
