The next time I cry about golf it will only be with joy. It's not worth crying over golf for any other reason. After all, it's only a game.
[Norris' head grows legs and tries to walk away] Palmer: You gotta be fuckin' kidding.
MacReady: [holding dynamite] Anyone messes with me... and the whole camp goes! Palmer: Don't argue with him!
I didn't become a caddie because I wanted to be a caddie. I was a caddie because that was how I could make money and feed myself. It was work. It was a dignified job.
I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.
Ty Tryon made a lot of money after turning pro, but he might not have been ready. I don't want to make a lot of money for a couple of months and then not be ready.
If someone wants to give you, like, $100 million, it's hard to say no. But I don't want to accept that kind of money right now. I'd feel burdened by it.
If I thought I had hurt my chances of winning another major just because I was chasing money around, I'd wind up kicking myself.
I love being able to sign autographs when I get that extra free time after a round just to be able to give back to the fans.
There's still nothing I love more than being in the air. I've always liked speed and things on wheels, going out there and putting it all out there, being on the edge.
My favorite bands were Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Grand Funk Railroad. If you listen to some of my early music, you can hear it.
Golf gives and takes. So yeah, sometimes you make those putts, sometimes you just miss them. But that's golf.
The major championships have always been a special focus in my career, and as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be.
I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don't know when that day will be.
Now students all seem to be converging on the same self, the successful upper-middle-class professional, impersonating the adult they've already decided they want to become.
I'm just going to have fun. Maybe that will be the most important thing to do.
I just see myself as an athlete and a competitor, someone who just works really hard at trying to get better at golf.
My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
With a ring around the rosary And a pocket full of crosses Ashes to ashes They'll all fall down
PGA of America has been very good to me; played some of the Junior Ryder Cups, and those go down as some of the best experiences I've had on a golf course.
It takes having your golf peak four different times throughout the year. You have to like all four golf courses. You've got to be the best of that week for the four weeks.
