Like George Thomas & John Low, try to define the "soul of golf" in one line

[Jay Flemma]

James and Aretha are to Soul Music what _________ and ________ is to the soul of golf....

Joe

p.s. I had the blanks filled in, but thought it might be more fun to see some other answers first.

Mackenzie and Strantz?

[Peter Pallotta]

TE, Joe - funny! Nice to see a couple of swells going low-brow.

James and Aretha are to soul music what Fownes and Maxwell are to the soul of golf.

Peter

P.S. -- Tom Joad, in "Grapes of Wrath":

"Maybe it's like Casey says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just a little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody. Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be everywhere, wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready and where people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build. I'll be there, too."

[Sébastien Dhaussy]

Gentlemen,

Thanks all for your contributions.  

I'll give a shot at my own question :

Unpredictability is the soul of golf.

I like it because I think this definition can apply to a very wide range of golf subjects (instruction, architecture, competition,...).
