I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.

I wouldn't call it bitter. I think it's just sweet. I've always believed my life seems like it's gotten better and better as each decade has gone by. So I don't see any I don't see any bitterness about it.

The game of golf doesn't come rushing back to you. Last week I made a couple of fundamental mistakes that I probably wouldn't have made in the heat of the battle back when I was in my heyday, and those things have got to come back.

People in this room must have back problems, I'm sure some of us do, and it is really, really one of the worst pains and debilitating parts of your body that you can actually have because you really can't do anything in your life when you have it.

So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I've got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that's the way I'm going to take it.

To me I've just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I'm enjoying it.

The players have competed on the level the last 25 or 30 years are always going to be the players that compete at a high level. These guys practice hard, they work on their game, they still hit the ball extremely well.

I always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever I did. I didn't want to be the number one golfer in the world. I just wanted to be as good as I could be. I work hard, I push myself hard, and I probably even expect too much of myself.

On 18 you've got to drive it up a gnat's ass.

I'm not interested at all in playing more than 12, 15 tournaments a year on an annual basis because like all the old guys out here on this Tour, we've played golf for nearly 30 years of our lives.

When I turned 50, I said to myself, well, if this is what it's like turning 50, I can't wait to turn 60 because I still felt very, very mentally and physically good, outside my back surgery.

Obviously it's my second senior event, and I'm tired obviously coming back from the British Open, from surgery, which was priority No. 1, did that successfully, and each week since the British Open I've felt in pretty good control of my golf game.

I don't see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.

My doctor asked me how many golf balls I had hit in my career. I'm lying there in bed calculating somewhere between four and five million golf balls I had hit to do that on my body.

I owe a lot to my parents, especially by mother and my father.

You know, like I said, I'm not going to adjust my Senior Tour schedule.

I think it's great the opportunity is given to all of us really to come out and play major championships after the real major championships have gone beyond us.

Well, I think any national championship is an extremely important championship to play in.

When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then you must be doing something right.

I've really got no complaints about the way I played, just extremely frustrating with the putter and I'm sure there's a lot of other players saying the same thing except the guy who's going to win the golf tournament.

Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I've spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world.

That's why we have practice rounds. We make the adjustments as we go around, try and find out how to play the golf course the best we can. No big deal, it's nothing to me, it's the same for me as it is to everybody and we're all trying to understand it.

What's a good tournament for him? Winning it. He's good enough.

Setting goals for your game is an art. The trick is in setting them at the right level neither too low nor too high.

I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.

Every time you lose, you think that life's unfair. You think of the bad breaks. But when you're winning and playing well, you still get those bad breaks, only you overcome them. It just depends on how strong your mind is.

I have a project at HBO and one at the Family Channel coming that are being looked at. Aside from that I am not doing much more than playing golf and some skiing.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.

My first calendar was a combination of photos taken from different shoots including golf and casual.

There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.

I think travel is probably the downside of playing professional golf, but you've got to do it.

Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.

They call it golf because all the other four-letter words were taken.

Golf may be a hussy, but I love her.

I don't like going to the mall. I'm not really like the other girls. I just like to go out on the golf course and play. Golf is fun and feels really good.

The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.

It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place the world is when one is playing golf.

Confidence in golf means being able to concentrate on the problem at hand with no outside interference.

Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.

A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.

For example, in my district there are visitors from all over the world who are drawn to our beautiful beaches, recreational lakes, habitat wildlife preserves and golf courses.

I've been writing a lot, I've a few projects I'm trying to finance, I do some acting, I do some directing... Apart from that, if I could get lower that a ten handicap on my golf game I'd be thrilled.

I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

Few learn golf in a lifetime.

Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.
