I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well.
I have three-putted in 40 countries.
If you pick up a golfer and hold it close to your ear, like a conch shell, and listen, you will hear an alibi.
It's OK to have butterflies. Just get them flying in formation.
Cyclists, I work with a number of cyclists. They are great athletes; they are great aerobic athletes. If you ask them to hit a baseball or golf ball, they can't do that.
I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I'm a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week.
Golf courses sell real estate and that's why they're built.
Agriculture is the new golf
Everybody has two swings-a beautiful practice swing and the choked-up one with with which they hit the ball. So it wouldn't do either of us a damned bit of good to look at your practice swing.
When Tiger was 6 months old, he would sit in our garage, watching me hit balls into a net. He had been assimilating his golf swing. When he got out of the high chair, he had a golf swing.
Golf has humbled, humiliated, and just about licked all the great athletes who tried it.
Golf is played with a number of striking implements more intricate in shape than those used in any form of recreation except dentistry.
I tend to do golf charity things because it's much safer and you don't get much chance of a broken arm or leg.
Golf is like a razor. You get just so sharp and then it begins to dull a little more the more you use it.
Golf is no longer a game of hitting the ball, finding it, and hitting it again. There is wind to be measured, whether that means tossing blades of grass in the air or studying the gentle movement of 60-foot high branches. There are caddie conferences for even the most routine shots. There are sports psychologists who tell players not to hit until they're ready.
I'm not a big shorts person. Personally, I hate to see men's legs on the golf course.
I try and stay out of the sun for the most part. I wear a hat. I play golf. And I wear a hat. But I've had no problem - no major problem - but certainly no problem with skin.
Somewhere out there are a few men with more innate talent at golf than Jack Nicklaus, or women with greater ability at tennis than Chris Evert or Martina Navratilova, but they will never lift a club or swing a racket and therefore will never find out how great they could have been. Instead, they'll be content to sit and watch stars perform on television.
A man who went to the 'footie' match on Saturday afternoon and played eighteen holes of golf was really doing his duty by the nation.
I could have rolled the ball up there against Musial, and he would have pulled out a golf club and hit it out.
Golf is not sacred, and there is no use getting so gosh-darned solemn about it.
Golf may be a hussy, but I love her.
It's a faithless love, but you hit four good shots and you've started your day right.
It's the most humbling sport ever. It's like a lousy lover. It's like some guy who's never there when you need him. Every once in a while, he comes and makes you feel like heaven on earth.. And then the moment you say, 'I really need this,' he's gone.
Stan said he used to keep Hardy late, make him miss his golf game, and really get him mad.
