Golf

"When I was three...my father put my hands in his and placed them around the shaft of a cut-down women's golf club. He showed me the classic overlap, or Vardon grip--the proper grip for a good golf swing he said--and told me to hit the golf ball...'Hit it hard boy. Go find it and hit it again.'"

"Arnold Plamer, I think, put his finger on why American golf has declined. The American professional tour, he says, makes it too easy for golfers to earn a living. No longer do they play to win, they play to get a good paycheck... The great champions, like Palmer and Nicklaus, cared more about winning." - Mark McCormack
