Golf Creed by David R Forgan Golf is a Science, the study of a Lifetime, in which you may exhaust yourself but never your subject. It is a contest, a duel or a melee, calling for skill, courage, strategy and self control. It is a test of temper, a trial of honour, a revealer of character. It affords a chance to play the man and act the gentleman. It means going into Gods out of doors, getting close to nature, fresh air, exercise, a sweeping away of mental cobwebs, genuine recreation of tired tissues. It is a cure for care, an antidote to worry. It includes compainship with friends, social intercourse, opportunities for courtesy, kindliness and generosity to an opponent. It promotes not only physical health, but moral force. David Forgan 1899
