About this Quote

This quote by Sam Snead is describing the golf course at St. Andrews in Scotland. He is saying that up until you really play the course, it doesn't look like it would be preferable to anyone. He is indicating that the course looks unattractive and uninviting from the outside, which it would be tough to discover somebody who would want to take it off your hands. Nevertheless, when you really play the course, you realize that it is a great golf course and that it deserves far more than you initially believed. Snead is stressing the significance of actually playing the course in order to value its real value. He is likewise recommending that the course is a covert gem, which it is only after playing it that you can genuinely value its beauty and challenge.
