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.
lying play get-better
I will tell you privately it's not going to get better, it's going to get worse all the time, but don't fret. Remember, we play the ball where it lies, and now let's not talk about this, ever again.
struggle golf years
One reason golf is such an exasperating game is that a thing we learned is so easily forgotten, and we find ourselves struggling year after year with faults we had discovered and corrected time and again.
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.
men long soul
The toughest opponent of all is Old Man Par. He's a patient soul who never shoots a birdie and never incurs a bogey. And if you would travel the long road with him, you must be patient, too.
