"Golf is the only game in which precise knowledge of the rules can earn one a reputation for bad sportsmanship." -Patrick Campbell

I would say thats doubly true in disc golf. Not really with our group...but I have seen/heard some really ridiculous stuff from time to time. Especially with noobs...so many people are self taught and just make up rules as they go along. I remember when I found out that landing a putt on top of the basket didn't count...blew my mind. :mad:

1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York Stock Exchange ?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the world's most successful of their days. Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.

The Answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company.
Charles Schwab, died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company,
Edward Hopson, went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE,
Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator,
Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement,
shot himself.

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore,
also committed suicide.

However: in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?

He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure at the time of his death.

The Moral:

Screw work.
Play golf!!!

Golf is the cruelest game, because eventually it will drag you out in front of the whole school, take our lunch money and slap you around. -Rick Reilly

[RustyP]

I keep this one inside the dayplanner my boss makes me carry :D...it's a little long (not one you could easily quote), but a great summary of how I'm sure a lot of us feel about the sport:

"It's the anticipation of a beautiful flight, when you know your release was right, your angle was dead-on and your lie or your putt is going to be good. It's that moment when all the world is suspended, your breath is held and your gut either applauds your throw or wails in dismay. It's what brings you back to the tee pad, to the putt or to the prayer you say in the woods when a line is not visible. It's the dismissal of reality and everything that has come before and anything yet to come. It's focusing so intensely on one moment in time, wagering the next moment's happiness on the trajectory of a piece of plastic, that brings me back to the game every day - even during a Michigan winter!" - Sarah DeMar (Discraft player)

[testap]

Nice quote, and happy birthday!

Golf is not a game, it's bondage. It was obviously deviseed by a man torn with guilt, eager to atone for his sins. -Jim Murray
