Quotes 

• Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Golf is a cruel mistress, Murdoch. It holds a man under its spell. I could believe that he hit the ball into the woods on purpose, then killed himself just to get away from the game.

  Detective William Murdoch : Golf seems little more than a distraction, sir. I can hardly believe that it would drive a man to suicide.

  [Brackenreid picks up a club] 

  Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Seems like fun at first. Just one good round. Even one good shot. And you're hooked. You become a slave to it. For hours and hours, day after day, you hit the ball towards the hole. You hit the ball towards the hole. On and on. Gets into your head. It consumes you. All you can think about's hitting the damn ball into the damn hole!

  [hands Murdoch the club] 

  Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Golf is a curse, Murdoch. Don't you forget it.

• Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : [to Murdoch after knocking down a fleeing suspect with a golf club]  Still got my swing, me old mucker.

• Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : There's a churlish Scotsman sitting in your office.

  Detective William Murdoch : Churlish? How so?

  Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Well, he's a Scotsman, isn't he?
