Ralph Waldo Emerson Golf Quote

"If Pebble Beach and Augusta National could only be played one day in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the golf courses of God!"

OK, Emerson never said anything about golf as far as know, but if he did, I think it would be the above.

Here is Emerson's actual quote, which was the inspriation for Isaac Asimov's most famous short story, "Nightfall" :


"If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God!"
