Golf doesn't really have many big guys.
I've thrown or broken a few clubs in my day. In fact, I guess at one time or another I probably held distance records for every club in the bag.
Golf is a game where guts and blind devotion will always net you absolutely nothing but an ulcer.
I thought I would just become a pro at a golf course.
Golf is difficult to get your personality over because you are such a bottle of concentration.
You can't pick up a golf club if your thumb hurts.
Golf - a young man's vice and an old man's penance.
Golf is the Great Mystery. Like some capricous goddess, it bestows its favours with what would appear an almost fat-headed lack of method and discrimination. On every side we see big two-fisted he-men floundering round in three figures, stopping every few minutes to let through little shrimps with knock-knees and hollow cheeks, who are tearing up snappy seventy-fours.
Driver has always been fine, and the rest of the clubs have been fine. It's just for some reason, the 3-wood... that's just one of those clubs.
The only thing you should force in a golf swing is the club back in the bag.
I enjoy playing it every time I step on the course.
The game of golf was bigger than Jack Nicklaus when Jack was dominating the game.
I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par.
The dream for me was always the Masters and after my freshman season on the Houston golf team I knew CBS was the only way I'd get there.
The main reason I went on Twitter was to look at golfers like Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy and see what they are up to.
I caddied for a guy who was a very good player, and he gave me a set of clubs, just a starter set: 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, putter and driver. I just loved it. How I developed my swing was to just grab a club and start banging balls.
[On golf:] One of the most distressing defects of civilization.
This is a great thing, to make a living as a professional golfer, isn't it?
A bad putter is like a bad apple in a barrel. First, it turns your chipping game sour. Then it begins to eat into your irons and finally it just cleans the head off your driver.
The less said about the putter the better. Here is an instrument of torture, designed by Tantalus and forged in the devil's own smithy.
Golf is an exercise in Scottish pointlessness for people who are no longer able to throw telephone poles at each other.
Golf is an indispensable adjunct to high civilisation.
If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.
The truth is, the first golf club I owned was an old left-handed, wooden-shafted, rib-faced mashie that a fellow gave me, and that's the club I was weaned on. During the mornings we caddies would bang the ball up and down the practice field until the members arrived and it was time to go to work. So I did all that formative practice left-handed. But I'm a natural right-hander.
Golf is a passion that will stay with me forever. That's all I know.
