About this Quote

In this quote, expert golf player Tony Lema compares the game of golf to the popular card game solitaire. He suggests that unfaithful in golf is similar to cheating in solitaire, in that it ultimately only harms oneself. In both games, the goal is to accomplish an individual best and enhance one's skills. Unfaithful might offer a momentary benefit, but it ultimately weakens the real function of the video game. Lema's words function as a pointer that stability and honesty are important in both golf and life. Unfaithful may seem tempting, but in the end, it just cheats oneself out of the true fulfillment and development that originates from reasonable play.
