“It’s not life or death it’s a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.”

To a Christian, Easter Sunday means everything, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.

We are in the entertaining business, they want to get autographs, they want to take something home, whether it’s a signed hat or, you know, program or whatever it might be.

You can get some spiked up greens even with no metal spikes, it just depends.

You know, as you get older, the first thing you lose is memory. It seems to be happening with me.

It’s just a matter of hitting the ball where I want to hit it and hopefully making some putts.

If you drag your shoe a bit those plastic spikes or rubber spikes can be almost as bad as metal spikes.

Competition is healthy. It makes you work harder and strive for more and try to find that extra one or two percent in your game that you could possibly improve.

That’s the difference between golf and many other sports. You go to some other sporting events, they just leave you or give you the cold shoulder and move on.

Well, the memories were obviously – every match is important, every point counts, especially the last sort of 18, 20 years when the matches have been so tight.

You know why the game of golf is popular? Very easy, it’s a great game.

I grew up a Catholic and I dont want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but theres a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.

I’m nervous when I play in the Masters or most other tournaments.

Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.

I’ve never predicted anything. All I have ever said is, that we will do the very best we can.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

But here’s the deal: If I were smart, I could figure out curling. If I were even smarter, I could figure out why people would actually watch other people doing it. I have tried. I can’t. I can’t even figure out the object of the game. Is it like darts? I just don’t get it.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that’s the way baseball is.

My favorite board game is a board game I’m working on right now. It’s a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare, and it’s going to be fun.

That was a great game of golf, fellers.

I’ve been playing the game so long that my handicap is in Roman numerals.
