expect leave minutes people ready scrappy
We're going to come ready to play for 40 minutes and leave it all out there. A lot of people don't expect us to win. We're a scrappy bunch. We don't back down from everyone.
baby play trying
When I'm a little fatigued, sometimes I baby it. I don't try to do it. I'm not 100 percent. I probably won't be the rest of conference play. I just have to play through it. I've never really been injured before.
games different familiar
Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
naps hours extras
I got an extra hour's nap.
home golf balls
I always like to see a person stand up to a golf ball as though he were perfectly at home in its presence.
silly golf boys
Doesn't it show us all that we are silly little boys or fatuous asses to think that we can play golf without making a lot of bad shots?
lying golf long-grass
The moment the average golfer attempts to play from long grass or a bunker or from a difficult lie of any kind, he becomes a digger instead of a swinger.
lonely golf people
I have never felt so lonely as on a golf course in the midst of a championship with thousands of people around, especially when things began to go wrong and the crowds started wandering away.
inspirational sports thinking
Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
disappointment golf appreciate
He [the golfer] must have the courage to keep trying in the face of ill luck or disappointment, and timidity to appreciate and appraise the dangers of each stroke, and to curb the desire to take chances beyond reasonable hope of success.
airplane golf differences
The difference between a sand trap and water hazard is the difference between a car crash and an airplane crash. You have a chance of recovering from a car crash.
real golf way
The real way to enjoy playing golf is to take pleasure not in the score, but in the execution of strokes.
fun golf men
I get as much fun as the next man from whaling the ball as hard as I can and catching it squarely on the button. But from sad experience I learned not to try this in a round that meant anything.
sports golf space
Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
