Mark Twain had a particularly clever wit, I’m surprised I didn’t spot it.
One of his best quotes is :-
“Golf, a good walk ruined”.
Winston Churchill was a constructer of fine sentences.
One of his best lines is :-
“Golf, the ability to deliver an uncontrollable sphere into an inaccessible hole with equipment ill suited for the purpose”.
