“I had a few miracles happen out there today.”

But, if you miss (the supposedly easy pin) by just a little bit, you’re looking at the next putt from 30 feet. The ball just rolls away.

If we are to preserve the integrity of golf as left to us by our forefathers, it is up to all of us to carry on the true spirit of the game.

I have felt terribly from the beginning when I saw the problems and recognized that they would be ongoing. We were hired to put back the contours of the greens as closely as possible to George Thomas’s designs and were real proud of what we did. It’s a sad situation now.

It’s Star Wars golf. This place was designed by Darth Vader.

The game embarrasses you until you feel inadequate.

I don’t have any big secret about putting. Just hit at it. It’s either going to miss or go in.

I was horrified. Absolutely heart sick. All I could think of was that after 23 years together, I’d lost my faithful ally. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t get the loss out of my mind. It was like discovering that someone in my family had died.

A good golf course makes you want to play so badly that you hardly have the time to change your shoes.

Hitting a shorter club to these greens means a great, great deal. Younger players are so much more capable length-wise.

Hale Irwin is the exception. He just does everything so well.

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

Despite the fact that the world produces enough food to feed everyone, there are more hungry people today than when the world last met in Rio in 1992.

The US government decided today that because I did such a good job investigating the cyber-industrial complex, they’re now going to send me to investigate the prison-industrial complex.

Only a free West can help the prisoners of today’s left- and right-wing dictatorships.

Recall that whatever lofty things you might accomplish today, you will do them only because you first ate something that grew out of the dirt.

Have a good plan, execute it violently, and do it today.

I won’t say that the papers misquote me, but I sometimes wonder where Christianity would be today if some of those reporters had been Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Home staging used to be optional. Today, it’s a necessity in selling a house.
