Henry Ward Beecher

Dream golf is simply golf played on another course. We chip from glass tables onto moving stairways we swing in a straightjacket, through masses of cobweb, and awaken not with any sense of unjust hazard but only with a regret that the round can never be completed, and that one of our phantasmal companions has kept the scorecard.
John Updike
Image
Men get tired of everything, of heaven no less than of hell and that all history is nothing but a record of the oscillations of the world between these two extremes. An epoch is but a swing of the pendulum and each generation thinks the world is progressing because it is always moving.
George Bernard Shaw

The whole curse of the last century has been what is called the Swing of the Pendulum that is, the idea that Man must go alternately from one extreme to the other. It is a shameful and even shocking fancy it is the denial of the whole dignity of the mankind. When Man is alive he stands still. It is only when he is dead that he swings.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don't pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions.
Vivien Leigh

The Vietnam War was in full swing, the Air Force wanted me and I wanted out of Flint, so three years in the USA and that fourth one spent here in Vietnam really flipped my life around.
Doug Rice

We have had the stone age we have had the iron age and now we have the sky age, and the sky telegraph, and sky men, and sky cities. Mountains of stone are built out of men's visions. Towers and skyscrapers swing up out of their wills and up out of their hearts.
Gerald Stanley Lee

My constant prayer, these days, as I start my backswing is, 'Oh, please let me swing slowly.' The trouble is that sometimes I wonder whether I swing at all whether I am not strictly a chopper.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
The only actor who I think probably might have possibly taken a swing at me if he could have would be Burt Reynolds. He used to call Roger and me the Bruise Brothers, out of Chicago.
Gene Siskel

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.
Ben Hogan

I expect to play golf until I am 90-even longer if anybody figures out a way to swing a club from a rocking chair.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias
Image
I like to be aggressive. I like to swing the bat.
Carlos Beltran
Image
I went through the whole number, you know. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Thelonious Monk is still one of my favorites. So a lot of these people had their effect on me.
Mose Allison
Image
Through improvisation, jazz teaches you about yourself. And through swing, it teaches you that other people are individuals too. It teaches you how to coordinate with them.
Wynton Marsalis
Image
I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can.

My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered.

Image
The one unbreakable rule about hitting is this: if a batter hits well with his own particular stance and swing, think twice - or more - before suggesting a change.
Stan Musial
Image
My swing is too fast may be the biggest misconception ever. Think about it. If you take a fast, lousy swing and slow it down, all you've got left is a slow, lousy swing. Most people swing too slow, not too fast.
Hank Haney
Image
If I had my career to play over, one thing I'd do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody remembers them.
Pee Wee Reese
Image
My suggestion to newspapers everywhere is to give the public a reason to read them again. So here's an idea: get on a big story with widespread public appeal, devote your best resources to it, say a quiet prayer, and swing for the fences.
Graydon Carter
Image
My game wasn't where it should have been at all at the start of the year. I got into a couple of bad habits on my swing, and it just took me a little bit of time to get out of them.
Rory McIlroy

A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.
