I've never set up any golf course that would favor anybody. I try to make it exactly the opposite, which is what we did at Valhalla when we modernized it to accommodate the lengths players are hitting it today.

Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.

This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.

I had polio when I was 13. I started feeling stiff, my joints ached, and over a two-week period I lost my coordination and 20 pounds.

The holes are numbered.

I don't really have a problem saying good-bye to things. All things come to an end.

I didn't push any of my kids into golf, and they played golf because they wanted to.
