“Golf is a game of coordination, rhythm, and grace; women have these to a high degree.”

All of my life I have always had the urge to do things better than anybody else.

As your golf improves, your concentration will improve with it.

I just hitch up my girdle and let ‘er fly.

Before I was ever in my teens, I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up. My goal was to be the greatest athlete that ever lived.

It’s even harder to stay at the top in sports than it is to get there.

Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.

Don’t worry. Just leave everything in the hands of God.

The more you practice, the better. But in any case, practice more than you play.

You know when there’s a star, like in show business, the star has her name in lights on the marquee! Right? And the star gets themoney because the people come to see the star, right? Well, I’m the star, and all of you are in the chorus.

The formula for success is simple: practice and concentration then more practice and more concentration.

I can beat any two players in this tournament by myself. If I need any help, I’ll let you know.

There are times when a golfer is tempted to throw her clubs away and forget the whole ‘humblin’ business.’ At other times, she wouldn’t trade places with a queen-that’s when the shots are long and true, and putts are dropping.

I couldn’t hit an elephant’s ass with a bull fiddle.

Study the rules so that you won’t beat yourself by not knowing something.

At home I mostly stick to online Scrabble, or chess or Risk – games I find far less addictive than the spectacular games created for consoles these days. But, whenever I get the chance I head over to my friend Kyri’s house to play his PS3.

I like to be against the odds. I’m not afraid to be lonely at the top. With me, it’s just the satisfaction of the game. Just performance.

Before the 11th of September, in my discussions with many officials of the United States, some of them are Congressmen, I used to say that “don’t deal with terrorists as playing games.” It’s a different story. You’re going to pay the price if you’re not wise in dealing with terrorists.

Unlike multiculturalism, cultural pluralism doesn’t just mean diversity but also togetherness – primarily the understanding of the rules of the game – the European values structure.

If youre going to play the game properly, youd better know every rule.

Fifty percent of the game is mental and the other 50 percent is being mental. I’ve got that part down, no problem.

Celtic have scored in the 50th consecutive game in which they’ve managed to score

It’s a relief now to be able to stand next to my godfather and finally feel like I’ve accomplished something in the game of baseball.
