From Tom Ramsey’s book, ‘It’s a Funny Game’. Sailor, long marooned on a desert island, watched a great looking blond float ashore on a barrel. “how about a cigarette?” she asked, reaching inside the barrel. “Wow!” “And how about a beer?” Wow, wow!” “Now – would you like to play around?” “Lady, don’t tell me you also got golf clubs in that barrel?”

This week’s quote from the “King” Arnold Palmer. The Essence of Golf – Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the Intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening. It is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.

Early one Saturday at the Moore Park municipal course in Sydney, a little man kept inching his way towards the head of the line of golfers waiting to hit off. Each time, he was tossed back unceremoniously to where he had started.
