"One of the great arguments for clerical celibacy is that it leads to a very high standard of golf among the Catholic clergy.
"I saw something of this for myself last week on the Ayrshire coast, at the close of the Universe Annual Golf Competition, when Plymouth diocese beat Shrewsbury at a play-off, and it was astonishing how high the average skill is, on a broad steady average of four strokes to a hole, or 72 holes for under rather than over three hundred stokes."
Everything has its place and time.
When that was written golf was part of the liturgical calendar of many clerics.
A recent study shows that golf is losing its appeal among younger people, inlcuding millennials.
