About this Quote

This quote by Richard M. Nixon is suggesting that there are more efficient and beneficial methods to invest one's time than playing golf.

Nixon is suggesting that there are much better methods to invest this time, such as spending time with household, working on a job, or finding out a brand-new ability. He is suggesting that golf is a recreation that can be taken pleasure in, but it ought to not be the only activity one engages in.
