I learned how to win by losing and not liking it.

No other game combines the wonder of nature with the discipline of sport in such carefully planned ways. A great golf course both frees and challenges a golfer's mind.

After playing Ballybunion for the first time, a man would think that the game of golf originated here.

My golf swing is a bit like ironing a shirt. You get one side smoothed out, turn it over and there is a big wrinkle on the other side. Then you iron that one out, turn it over and there is yet another wrinkle.

Golf will grow so long as it’s fun.

I'd rather fight 100 structure fires than a wildfire. With a structure fire you know where your flames are, but in the woods it can move anywhere; it can come right up behind you.

If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively, then the design strategy is flawed.
