In Ross’ Words
“If you use a line and a square to build a bunker, the result is sure to have an artificial-ness akin to hideous. It’s just as easy to break up all the lines and avoid such a regrettable result.. Man cannot do in a few days what nature took years to accomplish.”
“If you want to know a man, take him out on the golf course.” -Donald Ross
“Often the very highest recommendation of a bunker is when it is criticized. That shows that it is accomplishing the one thing for which it was built: It’s making players think.”
“The repeated loss of balls by those to whom the hazard is difficult is apt to create dissatisfaction.”
“If you want to know a man, take him out on the golf course.”
“I believe wholeheartedly in golf. I consider it a game of honor. It does more to bring out the finer points in a man’s character than any other sport.”
“A country which gets golf-minded need not worry about the honor, the integrity and the honesty of its people.”
“Every golfer is on his honor. As long as we keep golf a game of honor, we’re on the right road.”
