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.

Arnold Palmer quotes (American Golfer. b.1929)
