SPECIAL EDITORIAL NOTE FROM SPORTS_NUT, 2/26/2011
.
Welcome to the retirement edition of Funny Sports Quotes.
.
The Funny Sports Quotes blog was created in 11/2007 after I could see I could become a blogger very easily using Google's 3-step process for creating a blog online.
.
For me, like most, work is not my idea of a fun experience, so I had to choose the topic that I would most enjoy pursuing and that, for me, was finding and posting funny sports quotes for entertaining and, in some cases, educating an audience on facets of sports even the most ardent sports fans may not have been aware of.
.
At the same time, I decided to compile a database of funny sports quotes that sports fans and quote fans could visit for "one-stop" shopping, thereby helping them to avoid the need to search elsewhere for sports quotes.
.
So, from 11/2007 until 2/2011. I have compiled quotes on the Funny Sports Quotes blog and its sister blog, FSQuotes, that is accessible only from the Funny Sports Quotes blog.
.
As of 2/26/2011, I believe I have achieved my objective first set in 11/2007, which signals for me the end of my funny sports quotes database project.
.
Kindly note that I have already made the last post (SI Swimsuit) to the blog, shut off further entries to Comments, and I will shut off the email address sports.quotes@gmail.com on 03/14/2011.
.
Also note that many features previously cited on this page have been removed, so that a bare-bones FSQ remains for your future reference.
.
I do hope that my venture was successful in bringing a smile to your face or a skip to your step, since that was all FSQ was created for, your entertainment and pleasure.
.
In closing, I wish you and yours, Godspeed!

GOLF QUOTES

Humorous Quotes attributed to Arnold Palmer 1929- , American Golfer

Bob Jones, my first golf hero, once commented that he never learned anything from a golf tournament he won. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. He (Sam Snead) was at heart a big old country boy who loved golf and had a zest for life, swallowing it in gulps (especially if someone else was buying the beer)... ~ A Golfer's Life
.
I began my day as I always do, by exercising and then downing a quart of water as my grandmother used to do in order to get the plumbing properly functioning. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
I remember how hard he tried that day, and how errant some of his shots were. But that’s Gerald Ford, as golfer and president. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
I try to play every day, and when I don't play - if you'll pardon the expression - I feel like a bear with a sore tail because of it. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
I used the engine’s thrust to regain control of the plane and brought her to a halt in the face of a snowbank at the end of the runway. The plane sustained negligible physical damage. I wish I could say the same thing for the pilot’s ego. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
I'm happy to report that he (President Clinton) also has a deft sense of humor, which is definitely what you need if you plan to stay sane while playing golf or, I suspect, serving as president. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
In those days, it was kind of a running joke that the trajectory of my tee shots was so low you could always tell when Arnold Palmer had been on the tee – the grass in front of it was scorched by the ball. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily. It’s pretty widely known that I will talk to just about anybody who happens to be breathing. Especially fans and paying customers. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
I've learned the great value of diplomacy and seeking an honorable peace. But part of that wisdom is knowing when to fight and another part is knowing when to fight even harder. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
Jack (Nicklaus) navigates more by brain. I go more by heart. Intellect versus instinct. Jack versus Arnie. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
Obviously they didn’t know Job Gibbs. The man has a southern preacher’s charms and a mongoose’s tenacity. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
President Clinton nearly brought tears to my eyes when he remarked at the presentation that one reason he wanted to be president was for the “perks” – and that presenting the award to Arnold Palmer was one of the biggest perks of his career. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
President Eisenhower, as it turned out, swung a golf club with great conviction, if not tremendous dexterity. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money. Sometimes, as the saying in golf goes, it’s better to be lucky than good, and at the Masters of 1962, I think I was a little bit of both. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
The conventional view is that Oakmont was an Open I should have won because I was the better player at the time. Well, “should have” and “did” may be neighbors, but they don’t always get along. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
There is simply no experience in golf quite like being part of your first Ryder Cup opening ceremony, unless perhaps it’s the closing ceremonies after your side has won. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
There’s no feeling quite as satisfying as entering the media room to face the press after winning a big golf tournament - or, at the other end of the spectrum, as potentially painful when you've blown it. ~ A Golfer's Life
.
Timing is everything in life and in golf. ~ A Golfer's Life
