Good golf is a state of mind.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.

A child can play it well and a grown man can never master it.

Any single round of it is full of unexpected triumphs and seemly perfect shots that end in disaster.
 
It is almost a science, yet it is a puzzle without an answer.
 
It is gratifying and tantalizing; precise and unpredictable; it requires complete concentration and total relaxation.
 
It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect.  It is at the same time rewarding and maddening; and it is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.
 
-- Arnold Palmer
