Golf as Life

Turk Pipkin: “Nongolfers frequently ask what the big deal is about golf.  I’ve given up trying to explain that haunting feel of a perfect shot: the magical flight of the ball as it defied gravity, wind and all the things physical in search of the tiniest goal.
While most of man’s athletic competitions imitate war, golf imitate life, each player pitting his own skills against the hazards of the way.  On the basic nine-holer, it is you against he lay of the land; and if bad breaks conspire against you, they also show whether you have what it takes to overcome them.” –Texas Monthly
