Once a reasonably decent player, Churchill is said to have evolved into a reluctant player at best, one who considered the game “a mere adjunct to conversation” (this may have been because, according to his son Randolph, one could hardly say Sir Winston's greatest achievements were on the golf course). Churchill once notably declared, "Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose."
