Some Bob Hope Stories
1. “I get upset over a bad shot just like anyone else. But it is silly to let the game get to you. When I miss a shot I just think what a beautiful day it is. And what pure fresh air I’m breathing. Then I take a deep breath. I have to do that. That is what gives me the strength to break the club.”
2. Demaret, very good on his feet, once introduced me with the line, “Bob’s got a great short game. Unfortunately, it is off the tee.”
3. There were two things that made golf appealing to the average man…Arnold Palmer and the mulligan.
4. Personally, if I’m on the course and lightning starts. I get inside fast. If GOD wants to play through, let Him.
5. President Eisenhower used to tell the story about two golfers in front of the green. One lay eight, the other nine. The one who had taken nine strokes said, “It’s your hole, my short game is lousy.”
6. We all feel that we’re a little better than we actually are. A guy came into the locker room at Lakeside after playing one day and his friend asked him, “Did you shoot your usual game?” The man replied, “No, come to think of it, I never have.”
7. In this game you run into a lot of strange handicaps. There’s the guy who carries a 4, for the sake of prestige, but he really is a 14. He’s easy money. Then there’s the 4 masquerading as a 14. His picture belongs on the post office wall. Just the other day I was playing a guy like that. I said I was a 20 and he said he was a 20. What a liar he was. I had to shoot 68 to beat him.
8. Someone asked me if I would take my driver with me to heaven. I said no, I had better not because I had that club in my hand when I said too many nasty things about Him.
9. President Ford and I go out and play a social round in Palm Springs, with no gallery except his Secret Service personnel. It’s a little different playing with those guys around. I once saw him hit a shot off line and a cactus threw it back onto the fairway.
10. If I had an 8-foot putt for $1,000,000, I’d probably miss it. I’d probably even miss the 16 footer coming back!

History of the Ball before the Feathery
“The gutta-percha golf ball dates from the 1840's and is credited to Robert Adams Paterson. Made by boiling and then moulding the latex-like sap from trees native to the Maylay peninsula, the gutta-percha golf ball or "gutty" as it was commonly known, gradually replaced its predecessor, the feathery.
The gutty became popular not because it flew farther or straighter than the feathery, but because it sold for only one-fourth the price. Original gutta-percha balls were moulded as smooth as a billiard ball, but soon golfers of the day noted that they seemed to fly better after several rounds of play. This improved performance was eventually linked to having nicks or cuts on the balls. By the end of the gutta-percha era in golf balls in the early twentieth century, manufacture had evolved to a dimpled surface, much like the golf balls of today. The gutta-percha balls tended toward brown in colour when left in their natural state, but most were painted white.
The main drawback of the gutty was its tendency to fragment in flight. Rules were adopted calling for the golfer to play from the point where the largest fragment had landed. Fortunately, the reduced price for gutties allowed easier ball replacement and in fact was the means of extending the game of golf more to the newly emerging middle class.” – The Antiques Bible
