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

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.

We all know, the ones who play golf, know what a wonderful game it is and what a great past-time it is.

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.

It’s up to the captain. I certainly feel my golf is worthy of playing in the Ryder Cup. But I’m not sure I’m on the radar screen of Paul McGinley.

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

Every player has the option to have metal spikes or other spikes or whatever they feel most comfortable in.

I know thousands of German’s who are totally different from me, so we’re not alike, we’re not the same.

I’m certainly not a saint out there on the golf course. In fact, far from it. Like when you make a three-putt and become upset. I take one step back and remember there are more important things going on in the world than golf.

You can’t cover people with perceptions because we are all different.

Those who think that the rewarding things in life are somewhere over the rainbow ‘burn their toast a lot,’ said Pooh

Just put it to your personality, put it to yourself, and you develop your workout. Cause those books and things, those are other people’s gimmicks and hypes.

The best things in life are free – and $19.95.

I don’t concentrate on things I can’t do. I do what I can do.

The only things I like are either illegal or they make me fat.

Living a life fully engaged in full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget.

I love my fans very much. They give me the confidence to continue things in life.

When a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they’re not talking the way people talk on TV. Unless it’s cable.
