You've got to be rich to have a swing like that.
Middle age is when you still believe you'll feel better in the morning.
Golf is my real profession. Entertainment is just a sideline. I tell jokes to pay my greens fees.
I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money.
If you think golf is relaxing, you're not playing it right.
Where else but in America could the women's liberation movement take off their bras, then go on TV to complain about their lack of support?
