Quotes of the Day

On the Old Course at St. Andrews: This is the origin of the game, golf in its purest form, and it’s still played that way on a course seemingly untouched by time.

You hit a bad shot, you have to get over it right there and then so you can get focused on the next one.

The hardest shot in golf is a mashie at 90 yards from the green, where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces on the green and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult I have made it only once.

But in the end it’s still a game of golf, and if at the end of the day you can’t shake hands with your opponents and still be friends, then you’ve missed the point

Real golfers, no matter what the provocation, never strike a caddie with the driver. The sand wedge is far more effective.
