I understand golf is a game, and I've never treated it as anything else. Family is something that's very special, and so they all contributed to the room. They all contributed to what my life was, my career was.
Who in the world remembers who won the 1975 Westchester Classic or the 1978 Western Open? Basically, the majors are the only comparison over time . . . played on the same courses for generations. All the best players are always there.
I've always tried to play golf with a golf club. I have a hard time driving with my rifle. I mean, 18 is really narrow ... I have no problem with the course, except for the tee shot on 18.
I think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.
I knew that if I kept the pressure on and didn't do anything stupid I would probably win.
I don't know if I'll ever do it again or not, but frankly I don't really care.
I never missed a putt in my mind.
Before every shot, I go to the movies

There are always new places to go fishing. For any fisherman, there's always a new place, always a new horizon
Nick [ O'Leary] is a tough kid. He doesn't use gloves. It's freezing outside and he's obviously wearing short sleeves like all the other guys that let their "guns" stick out.
Did you know there's probably more golf played in Iceland than most places in the world? They play 24 hours a day in the summertime and the northern part is warmer than the southern part.
