Alistair Cooke Quotes
So the British, of all ages, still walk the course. On trips to Florida or the American desert, they still marvel, or shudder, at the fleets of electric carts going off in the morning like the first assault wave at the Battle of El Alamein.

The last on its list of local rules printed the firm warning "A Player on Foot Has No Standing on the Course."
