Title: Favourite sayings
Post by: Bionic on April 27, 2012, 10:51:52 am
The things that people say often amuses me so I wondered what favourite sayings you have.

Here is one to start us off.

Families are like fudge, mostly sweet but a few nuts.

Robert comes out with some crackers so he should be able to keep us going most of the day  ;D

Gary Player was fond of the second - he may have coined it along with:


As we all know... golf is a puzzle without an answer.

Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I've played the game for 40 years and I still haven't the slightest idea how to play.
Gary Player

I've traveled more than any human being who's ever lived.

If there's a golf course in heaven, I hope it's like Augusta National. I just don't want an early tee time.

We create success or failure on the course primarily by our thoughts.
