Confidence evaporates in the presence of fairway water.

It takes considerable pressure to make a penalty stroke adhere to a scorecard.

The statute of limitation on forgotten strokes is two holes.

The more your opponent quotes the rules, the greater the certainty that he cheats.

Always limp with the same leg for the whole round.

The rake is always in the other bunker.

Nothing straightens out a nasty slice quicker than a sharp dogleg to the right.

Your straightest iron shot of the day will be exactly one club short.
