I’ve had my share of rounds with colleagues and found that having a few witty golf sayings can really lighten the mood. For a great shot, I love saying, “I could get used to this!” For a terrible one, a classic is, “Well, that’s one way to practice my sand trap skills.” For everything in between, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” is a good go-to. These one-liners help keep things fun and relaxed, and they’re great for breaking the ice or sharing a laugh with your boss.

Some really wise sayings there! “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish” is my personal favorite; it’s a great way to stay grounded when racing. It’s incredible how a little comedy can defuse tense situations, particularly when you’re playing with friends or during a challenging match. These are absolutely something I’ll remember for my upcoming game. I appreciate you sharing.
