Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of wood higher up.
I hate to repeat lines, to say the same damned thing. I try to rewrite cliches and make what I say sound fresh.
I'm nearsighted in my right eye, have glaucoma in my left, and the nerves in my hands are on Medicare. Basically, I'm on the wrong end of a short sale.
Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I've played the game for 40 years and I still haven't the slightest idea how to play.
Writers have told me more than once that I'm a better interview in defeat than in victory, which is a compliment I am extremely proud of.
The long irons are the nemesis of the average golfer. I'm convinced that the underlying reason for this is that he keeps hearing how hard they are to handle. They're not that difficult, truly.
I am relying on the theory that playing golf is just like riding a bike and that I haven't forgotten how.
The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.
I was in the middle of the golf tournament trying to make birdies and I was just having a blast. So that probably qualifies as having a greater appreciation.
I may not look it when I'm playing, but I think I'm a fun guy to hang with when I'm relaxing.
I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.
As a kid, I remember John Daly bombing it around St. Andrews in 1995 to win the British Open, and people say we are similar in a lot of ways.
Telling me that I can't do something is probably the worst thing that anyone can say, because I'll definitely do it. I'm very determined.
Dale Palmer: [seeing Hank backs the car wildly up the driveway with his father in the car] They shouldn't drive together.
You don't have to hit perfect shots all the time here. The variety of shots you get to play, the shots you sometimes have to hit along the ground, it's just a lot of fun to me.
But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.'
Naturally it is nice to be widely known for worthwhile achievements, but it forces you to do many things which you don't like to do and these things take up time you want for other things.
If I could do anything over, I'd have spent more time with my first set of children. I would have taken more quality time with them, for sure.
My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter, wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time.
I remember winning the first time, you know, suddenly everybody expects, well, okay, now he should win every time he tees it up, win six tournaments.
It's incredible, ridiculous really, isn't it? You realise you can make more money on the golf tour in one week than some people make in a lifetime.
