101.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The older I get, the better I used to play!<\/p>\n
102.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am thankful to have been around at a time when golf was played as a walking game.<\/p>\n
103.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With regard to the USGA leadership (not staff):\u00a0 As individuals they are bright, accomplished, engaged individuals who kindly donate many hours of their time to the game (for generous perks), but as a group they come across as arrogant, stuffy, and \u201cnot in my backyard\u201d types with that organization becoming increasingly irrelevant as they have let the game get out of control, especially with the golf ball.<\/p>\n
104.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Name a publicly traded golf company where more that just a few insiders and founders have ever made sizeable profits on their investment.<\/p>\n
105.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In America the first question you are asked after a round is \u201cWhat did you shoot?\u201d (medal play).\u00a0 In the UK, it\u2019s \u201cDid you win or lose.\u201d (match play)<\/p>\n
106.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The major golf magazines are shrinking and many will disappear in the next few years.<\/p>\n
107.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Golf industry salaries are comparatively meager to most industries, especially in middle management and below.\u00a0 If someone leaves, there are always a host of eager people anxious to break into the business and take their place.<\/p>\n
108.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A sad, but true fact:\u00a0 99% of the PGA of America members do not write thank you letters, but the ones that do are sitting at the top of the proverbial pyramid.<\/p>\n
109.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The toughest job in golf is being the wife of a touring professional, but sometimes the severance pay can be sweet.<\/p>\n
110.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Every time I start bragging about my golf game, the Golf Gods find me, and squat upon me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
