We [with my wife] felt like we had the ability to help people not just on a local basis, but on a national basis.

If I had one golf course, from a design standpoint, one that I really love, it would probably be Pinehurst. There's a totally tree-lined golf course where trees are not a part of the strategy.

Oakmont, you've got to be playing slope.

That's sort of overkill. We've had 70 years of the Ryder Cup, and it's gotten along just fine. The pendulum will swing back without making a monumental thing about it.

They [my sons] all went to different schools and all did different things. They're about as different for five kids as you'll ever see. They don't do anything the same.

I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.
