Updated on April 10, 2015

A real golfer knows that golf is a mental game. For me, the novice, it is still a physical game and I remain a golfer wanta be. While nothing beats being out on the golf course, I do love great golfers, their stories and their quotes. The quotes of wisdom, I could read all day long. Let me share with you my favorite female golfer and a few of my favorite golf quotes.

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.”

Arnold Palmer quotes (American Golfer. b.1929)

Cheryl Ladd is an accomplished actress who you probably remember from television series Charlie's Angels (1976-1981).

Her charm and beauty have always been unquestionable.

In her golf game, she proved herself by sharing with us her personal triumphs and inspiring us in her book Token Chick.

Cheryl Ladd best a field full of NFL palyers in the longest-drive contest, winning by a single inch! No heavenly magic here, just a great golf player and female too!

Let me share with you a few insight from Cheryl Ladd, my female golf hero.

"The best way to learn how to make solid contact is by practicing your short game."

"As far as men playing golf with their wives goes, I think it's a great idea for couples to play together. Especially after you've just returned from church. That way you've gotten everything in perspective, and it'll keep you from cursing out there on Sunday afternoon." Duffy Waldorf

"So get some golf into your relationship, girl! It doesn't matter if you're with someone or looking for someone. It just works. It's a good thing. It's powerful- as powerful as love itself."

"A round of golf is a perfect second date, not a first date."

"There is no tolerating a cheater."

"Golf is such a mental game, it's scary."

"Don't be upset about your game today. That's what golf is. It's ups and downs."

"You know I've caddied for f***ing princes! But you're special, you're a friend." Jimmy Kelly to Cheryl Ladd

"Who is Jimmy Kelly? He's just the greatest caddy in the world, that's all."

" You'll hear golfers talk about getting into the slot as it it's some mystical place."

"Standing a few feet from a professional hitting a tee shot is something that every golfer needs to experience."

"We all give inspiration on the course without even realizing it."

"Davis always said that the key to staying positive through your round is to start out that way and maintain a good attitude for your whole round."

"Golf is 90 percent mental and 10 percent mental."

" TOKEN SIDE TIP" If you can't laugh at yourself, this sport's not for you. Put the book down before you wrinkle anymore pages and give it to someone as a gift."

"I'd see golfers playing; it looked enjoyable, being outside an walking in the fresh air, but I never reallu thought about going in."

"Let's tee it up!"[3]
