Summary

This humorous quote is often attributed to professional golfer Lee Trevino. It is an exaggerated expression of frustration that reflects on the inherent difficulty of hitting a 1-iron in golf.

The quote suggests that even God would struggle to hit a 1-iron, implying that it requires exceptional skill and luck to hit the ball well with that club.
