Quotes on Royal St Georges
Re: Quotes on Royal St Georges
And I love this one about the 'Wee Ice Mon'.
Imagine him as he scrutinises a long, difficult stroke, with arms quietly folded, an inscrutable quarter smile on his lips, for all the world like a gambler watching the wheel spin. And then the cigarette is tossed away, the club taken with abrupt decision, the glorious swing flashes and a long iron pierces the wind like an arrow.
