The fans motivated me. They gave me the incentive to want to play and to want to win and to continue to play as my career progressed. They were never a distraction.

I am against making golf courses obsolete, going to the national Open and playing half the holes with a one-iron.

I received many years of good advice from my father - how to live, how to play, how to be a gentleman.

I enjoy the press. I understand their business.

My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the fundamentals of the game and helped him make adjustments as he and his game matured over the years.

I love America. I wanted to play golf.

Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.
