Someday I'll tell my grandkids I played in the same tournament as Tiger Woods, ... We are witnessing a phenomenon here that the game may never, ever see again.
arnold ball bit carried early jack maybe names palmer played sam senior tour
This tour is name-driven, always has been and always will be. Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead carried the ball on the early part of the Senior Tour and they made it work. Then we had (Lee) Trevino come on and Jack (Nicklaus) played a little bit. We have to try a little bit harder, because maybe we don't have the names of that type.
bad playing
That's one of the things you get when you're playing golf. You get bad backs, bad necks.

It's an incredible format. The First Tee is a wonderful program that teaches kids the life skills needed in today's world. The kids here this week have demonstrated they have those skills. And I can't think of a better reward than playing Pebble Beach with all of us this week.

When you come off that last hole and you've just finished a good round of golf, life is good. When you come off that last hole and you messed it up through four or five holes and just played a lousy round of golf, it's just not a very good day. It just isn't.

You saw the greatest player who has ever played the game come up the 18th hole.
came cream crop dominated last open player reason year
Hale has dominated this tour. Probably the only reason I came out of last year as Player of the Year was because Irwin's back went out on him at the U.S. open and he couldn't play for a while. He's the cream of the crop out here.

I had my troubles today. It was just one of those days I played a little sloppy.

Ballybunion is the course on which many golf architects should live and play on before they build golf courses.
