    Didn't Mark Twain say that all golf did was ruin a good walk?

    Still, for "professional development purposes" I feel constrained to play, or play at, golf.

    The comic is funny. I'm sure that there would be a lot of comments about how it does nothing but support the "shortbread tin" image of Scotland, though.

    I was looking for the source of that quote. For some reason I had always thought it was the late, great Spike Milligan. Without wishing to stray too far off topic, one of my favourite golf quotes was from Jim Bishop: "Golf is played by twenty million mature American men whose wives think they are out having fun"
