hole playing pressure
Pressure is playing for $50 a hole with only $5 in your pocket.
ball close fade guys hitting kept low pin playing pony putting turns
I always loved hitting a low fade to a back-right pin with the wind howling from the right. Not many guys could get it close in that situation, because they kept it low by just putting the ball back in their stance. You see, playing the ball back turns you into a one-trick pony - you can only hit hooks.
average best far inspired matter numbers player
Seve Ballesteros was the best trouble-shot player who ever lived. It didn't matter how far in the woods you put that guy, he'd find a way to get out. But Seve inadvertently put a lot of big numbers on the scorecards of average players, because he inspired them to take dumb chances.
arnold asked days guy kidding palmer people playing time
When they asked me to do this, I said, 'Are you kidding me?' ... There are a lot of people that'd kill to play with this guy for two rounds. It's two days I'll never forget. Playing with Arnold Palmer at this time in my life, it was just wonderful.
basketball sports player
Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.
pride golf play
I got no pride on the hole. It's a par-5 and I play it that way. A four is a birdie.
play two swings
I love watching Anthony Kim play, but I'm not a fan of the way he grips down a good two inches on his full-swing shots. Choking down lightens the club's swingweight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer.
ohio play break
If Jack Nicklaus had to play my tee shots, he couldn't break 80. He'd be a pharmacist with a string of drugstores in Ohio.
golf winning player
[Jack Nicklaus] was the first to bring in course management. He could go to a course and tell you within one stroke what was going to win. He used to set his sights on that because he could shoot it. He was the only player I know who, if he decided he wanted to win a tournament, could go out and do it. No one will ever be as popular as Arnold Palmer and no one will ever come close to Jack as a player.
golf play two
I'm a golfaholic, no question about that. Counseling wouldn't help me. They'd have to put me in prison, and then I'd talk the warden into building a hole or two and teach him how to play.
player lines want
Somewhere along the line I'll be recognized as one of the top players in the Nicklaus era. That's all I want to be remembered for.
golf play two
There are two things you can do with your head down - play golf and pray.
golf play two
You don't know what pressure is until you play for five bucks with only two bucks in your pocket.
forget slow
Arnie is never going to slow down. You can forget it,
