It's not fun when you play as poorly as I played, ... My tournaments are getting down to a very few. As far as trying to compete in major championships such as the Open and other tournaments, this is it. I'm through doing it. I'm not going to do it anymore. |
Occasionally, I'll wake up and forget where I am, ... But when you get to my age, you forget a lot of things. |
On the Old Course at St. Andrews: This is the origin of the game, golf in its purest form, and it's still played that way on a course seemingly untouched by time. Every time I play here, it reminds me that this is still a game. |

Peter and I have been good friends for a long time and we've played a lot of golf together, in competition and otherwise. It's a relationship that has been ongoing for many, many years and once again, to have the opportunity to play as we will, it's going to be fun. I just hope I can keep him from being embarrassed by my poor golf. |

Sex, ... Golf excites me. My life. My wife. All the things that I do. Every day, I'm endeavoring on something different, something new. It's fun. It's challenging. |
Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character. |
Tell you what ... I'll wear it at the next tournament I play in. |
That became the talk of the town. They dropped the status of the Amateur, and I'm sorry they did that. How can you say Jones won the Grand Slam if you don't include the Amateur? |
That should be classified as one of the major championships, |
The fact is the Berger Foundation has afford us the opportunity to do this. You can't beat it. This is something that, I think as far as golf and golf-related things are concerned, this is the kind of thing that should happen more and more, and particularly in cities where they have golf tournaments such as this. |
The golf was lousy, ... I couldn't ask for anything but maybe a little better score. |
