When you stop to think about it, did you ever notice that it's a lot easier to get up at 6:00 AM to play golf than at 10:00 AM to mow the yard? 

Golf is, far and away, the ultimate love/hate relationship. 

Sometimes it seems as though your cup moved over. 

It takes longer to learn good golf than it does brain surgery. On the other hand, you seldom get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs while performing brain surgery. 

A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game. 

Water hazards are no walk in the park for fish, turtles and frogs, either. 

Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up praying a lot. 

A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are. 

That rake by the sand trap is there for golfers who feel guilty about skipping out on lawn work. 

If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life. Trust me! 

Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And a week later you have to buy more. 

A pro-shop gets its name from the fact that you have to have the income of a professional golfer to buy anything in there. 

It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps. 

If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven ... he probably shot an eight. 

You probably wouldn't look good in a green jacket anyway! A sweatshirt will do just fine.
