| On the Links |
| This page isn't devoted to one location, as my pages usually are. These photos were taken on golf courses all over the world. Initially, I wondered if I could find enough scenic golf course photos to fill a page, but - as any golfer could have undoubtedly told me - I found enough to fill hundreds of pages. So many beautiful courses...narrowing down the pictures was mind-boggling. Almost makes me want to play golf. By the way, the purists among you will know that the term "links" isn't actually interchangeable with "golf course," because a links golf course is a specific type of course. I've allowed myself a little artistic license. :-) -- Nancy (Photo at top - The Ocean Course: Half Moon Bay, California, USA) |

| Talking to a golf ball won't do you any good - unless you do it while your opponent is teeing off. -- Bruce Lansky ~ ~ ~ Never bet with anyone you meet on the first tee who has a deep suntan and a 1-iron in his bag. -- Dave Marr |
| Golf is 20 percent mechanics and technique. The other 80 percent is philosophy, humor, melodrama, tragedy, camaraderie and cussedness. -- Grantland Rice |
| I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool. -- George Brett ~ ~ ~ What's nice about the senior tour is that we can't remember yesterday's bad shots. -- Bob Bruce |
