This card handcrafted by Mary Lynn. Golf Sayings: There is a big difference between learning to drive a car and learning to play golf. When you learn to play golf, you don't hit "anything". Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air. Jack Benny I didn’t lose my marbles…I traded them for golf balls A golfers diet consists of lots of greens If you drink don't drive. Don't even putt. Dean Martin Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad. A.A. Milne I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game: it's called an eraser. Arnold Palmer Golf: if you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart. Arthur Daley If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of would be played far better than it is. Horace G. Hutchinson Golf is a good walk spoiled. Mark Twain May thy ball lie in green pastures... and not in still waters. I've spent most of my life playing Golf - the rest I've just wasted. The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course. Billy Graham If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. Jack Lemmon A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers, neither of whom can putt very well. I know I am getting better at golf because I'm hitting fewer spectators. Gerald Ford I can airmail the ball, but sometimes I don't put the right address on it. Jim Dent Golf and sex are the only things you can enjoy without being good at them! Jimmy Demaret They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that. Gardner Dickinson Golf combines two favorite American pastimes: taking long walks and hitting things with a stick. P.J. O'Rourke Man blames fate for other accidents but feels personally responsible for a hole in one. Martha Beckman Golf is a game in which you yell "fore," shoot six, and write down five.

Yogi Berra Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose. Ernie Banks You owe it to yourself to be the best you can possibly be - in baseball and in life. Pete Rose Softball Sayings: When a ball is coming at you 70 mph, nothin' soft about that! Softball is for everyone. Fast-pitch is for athletes. Friends don't let friends play slow-pitch. Softball is like love, first you learn the rules of the game, and then you forget the rules and play from your heart. The only difference between baseball and softball is, that when you get hit by a softball it leaves a bigger mark. Be a good sport.
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not. Charles Barkley (outside) Why is basketball the grossest sport there is?

Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best. Tim Duncan There are really only two plays: Romeo and Juliet, and put the darn ball in the basket. Abe Lemons It’s not how big you are, it’s how big you play. In our court there are no objections…only rejections Stand tall, talk small, play ball "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying." Michael Jordan They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds. Wilt Chamberlain Cheerleading Sayings: Cheerleaders are simply a jump above the rest. A good cheerleader is not measured by the height of her jumps but by the span of her spirit. In any other sport, if you miss the catch all you lose is the ball. Cheerleaders are angels - we're the only humans who can fly. Any man can hold a girl's hand, but only the elite can hold her feet. If cheerleading got any easier, it would be called football. (or any other sport) You know you're a cheerleader when you have to yell, kick, and scream to get what you want. Wimps lift weights, cheerleaders lift people. Flying is the 2nd best thrill known to a cheerleader. Being caught is the first Cheerleaders are simply a jump above the rest in any sport.
