"It's not how, just how many"

Usually hear that one on the same hole as "thin it to win it"

Also that line about golf being the best way to get to know someone has been said about many games and as far as I know, the first famous guy to say something like that was Plato when he said

Too many days I've gone to #1 and found the latter.
