Next Wednesday, 14 recipients will meet with President Bush to receive Presidential Medals of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civil award. Jack Nicklaus is the greatest golfer to have ever walked a course and it’s great to see him honored. Other athletes receiving the award will be Muhammad Ali and Frank Robinson.

As a Michigan golfer I’ve had to live with a shorter golf season than the more southern states. For the past 3 years I’ve gone on a 3 day golf tip to Boyne at the end of August where we play 36 holes a day. After the trip I’m usually sick of golf for at least a week and usually 2 weeks. That puts the season into September. During the month of September things start to pick up at work and the weather begins to change.
I usually golf a few times during September, but with the weather changes and everything else going on, I’m just about done. I haven’t played 9 holes in at least 3 weeks and don’t know if I’ll get any golf in for the rest of the year. October is a month of cold rainy days and that’s not my idea of fun on the golf course. Courses run all kinds of specials during this time, but it just isn’t worth it to me. I need to move somewhere warmer…like California!

Golf is like a love affair. If you don’t take it seriously, it’s no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart.

I play in the low 80’s. If it’s any hotter than that, I won’t play.

Forget your opponents; always play against par.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

I miss. I miss. I miss. I make.

My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered.

A rough should have high grass. When you go bowling they don’t give you anything for landing in the gutter, do they?

Is my friend in the bunker or is the bastard on the green?

When I’m on a golf course and it starts to rain and lightning, I hold up my one iron, ‘caus I know even God can’t hit a one iron.
Lee Trevino
If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf.
