Golf is a great game: no matter how bad you do on the current hole, you know you can always look forward to the next hole, where you can do even worse...

Putting is like sex. If you are not up, you are not in.

If you would like to convert this (or anything else) to lower case, use this tool:

https://convertcase.net/

‘Sentence case’ is what you want - you will have to manually capitalize the first letter of the golfer’s first/last names, but the rest will be good!

Never played the game but find many of these hilarious.

BTW if I’m going to stroll through beautiful park like settings I’m carrying a rifle looking to make lunch out of one of God’s creatures.

My favorite of all time...

Lee Trevino after being struck by lighting at the 1975 Western Open:

"If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron."
