Here is an interesting and humorous golf comment courtesy of Vineyard Golf at White Lake:
“Golf is primarily a fight with oneself. In a strong personality, the battle is more hotly contested, of course, than in a person of anemic character. In addition to this emotional struggle, a golfer’s body works against him. The human physique, while it is fine for climbing trees and can even be accustomed to squenching down in sports cars, is singularly unadapted to making the correct golf stroke. In the average human frame, the arms are hinged too close to the shoulders, the shoulders are too far from the neck, the arches of the feet are on the wrong side, the eyes are too far apart, there are at least one too many fingers on the left hand, and the spine is divided into too many pieces to allow a person to hit a ball with any degree of accuracy. These are scientific facts. It would also help if the knees bent sideways instead of forward.”
