I move around and play different golf courses. I just enjoy it.
But I do have time to pencil in golf, and we've got four excellent courses.
I enjoy traveling and playing some of the well-known courses sometimes, but basically, I have a good time at Barton Creek.
I quit when I was 52, and everybody was telling me that I was too young and I'd be bored - all of those things.
I have found that the players who have played in that game really do have respect for their adversaries.
I had hoped God would be neutral.
I'm not bored; I'm not a guy who has nothing to do.
I'm still healthy as can be.
I know that the odds are against a marriage lasting 60 years.
I don't have the proudest moment in football.
I try not to make the same mistakes today that I made yesterday.
As far as I'm concerned, everything's ham and jam.
Coaching at Texas and playing at the University of Oklahoma, I had the opportunity to see a lot of guys in Texas - Texas lettermen - who I played against.
It's more fun when you shoot well and when you have a good score, but that's not a prerequisite to me for having a good time.
