Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.
A. A. Milne
The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you will - than any book ever written. It has emptied more churches than all the counter-attractions of cinema, motor-bicycle and golf course.
I watch a lot of golf, but I'm only a fair-weather player.
Aaron Ramsey
I just picked up golf, it was good, give me a chance to play golf.
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

Adam Carolla
You know, I go to work in a great office every day, and the amount of freedom that goes with being a pro golfer on the tour is awesome. So I get to enjoy my weeks off away from the course, and then I get to go to work on some of the best golf courses in the world out here.
Adam Derek Scott
To win a major championship - I think, at the end of the day, that's what a golfer's career is based upon.
There's one guy who inspired a nation of golfers, and that's Greg Norman. He's been incredible to me and all the great golfers.
The good part is if I play a solid round of golf, it will be very hard for the others to beat me. And that's all I'm thinking about.
I play golf, but sometimes it's so un-relaxing, I have to play tennis to wind down. Now that I think about it, this process is sort of like when I go out for sushi and have to get a slice of pizza afterward.
Adam Ross
I thought I was better at basketball, but obviously people didn't think so. But I loved them equally, whether it be baseball season, basketball, football, golf, I liked them equally.
Adam Thielen
I would not be in the NFL, 100 percent, if it wasn't for basketball. I probably wouldn't be where I am without golf and baseball. Golf, for the mental side of the game, being able to focus on the now and take one shot at a time.
I think anybody that has had a bad game, or, I dunno, I guess if you go out golfing and you hook a couple balls, are you thinking about it until you get it figured out?
Adam Vinatieri
In golf, there are times when you hit a ball so perfectly that you never feel the ball leave your club.
I think dates considered super corny and cheesy - whether it's going bowling or miniature golf or something where you can be competitive and just have fun with each other - those always make the most memorable dates!
Aimee Teegarden
Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?
Al Boliska
When it comes down to it, I'm thinking about football all the time. When I'm on the golf course, I'm thinking about it. It's never out of your brain.
Al Michaels
I can't even pretend to play golf.
Alan Arkin
I always wanted to be a golfer, only I realised that if I'd played golf I would have been skint.
Alan Hansen
I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.
When I was playing football, I always felt in complete control. When I play golf and come under pressure, it's a completely different ball game.
Whenever I have any spare time I have a game of golf.
Would I have done anything different? I might have put a golf club in my hand instead of a cue. I love watching those guys play. Every situation is different, everything - every shot - has to be so precise.
In the '70s, Florida-style golf communities started to be built for America's baby-boomers who were doing well and taking up the game but couldn't get into exclusive golf and tennis clubs and were looking for a nice place to live and raise their families.
No golfer's journey is complete without a pilgrimage to St. Andrews, the mecca of the game. This is where it all began, back in the 15th and 16th centuries.
I really have fun playing golf.
Golf is so different than football, in many ways. I think that's why I enjoy it.
I am always working out, whether I am on vacation or at home. When in La Jolla, I like to surf, play tennis, and golf - but surfing is definitely my favorite.
I want to get good enough so I can play in Mia Hamm's golf tournament for her foundation and have an event of my own someday. I'm so competitive, I don't want to go and just pretend I'm a good golfer.
What most people don't understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That's why they're always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico. Another thing to consider is that all three of those destinations are good places to play golf. So there's possibly some connection between aliens and golf.
On stage, I'm this figure, this actor, who does things that people aren't used to seeing and I relish in that reaction. In real life, though, I play golf, I shop and I walk around with no makeup on and my hair in a ponytail. I may not be the typical middle-aged Joe, but I'm closer to normal than you think.
Cooking is physical; it's easier to learn than playing golf. You chop food, you pan fry it - what else is there to it?
To this day, I remember vividly Missy Elliott, Ludacris, and my grandma riding in a golf cart to set. My grandma went back to Ohio and told her bowling friends, 'Guess what? I was riding to set with Missy and Ridiculous!'
Golf is a spiritual game. It's like Zen. You have to let your mind take over.
Golf isn't just about hitting a lot of drivers. I grew up playing on my front lawn, chipping and putting into soup cans, out of the ivy and over rose bushes and hedges - the little Alcott Golf and Country Club. I just loved having a wedge in my hands.
You could argue that if the average golfer plays a golf course with 430-yard par 4s and they always miss the green, that's good practice. It's definitely great practice to play a course that's too long for you.
I don't think the philosophy really changes between men and women. I think golf courses need to become more distance-friendly overall. I think golf courses almost need to develop a more generic set of tees instead of calling them black, blue, red or whatever.
My parents didn't play golf.
What makes a great golf course is continuity and variety: right-to-left holes, left-to-right holes.
It's a really good place for me to be, on the golf course.
In golf, you're more competing with yourself.
I'm just a golf enthusiast where I enjoy the game so much, and I'm excited.
When things aren't going right, I can get out on the golf course, and when things are going really good on the court, I can go and enjoy the scenery, enjoy the weather. And when I'm too high, I can have golf humble me and beat me up a little bit.
When I introduce my basketball friends to golf, I tell them to just swing halfway. The power is the easy part.
I feel like golf has brought me some peace.
It's important to dabble in things that interest you, and for me, I'm interested in the tech space that is here in Silicon Valley, fashion and golf.
If I get on the golf course, my basketball game is a direct reflection of how many rounds of golf I can get. So, the more rounds of golf, the better I play.
Draymond's always talking trash, and he's really good at getting you off your game. He's one of the guys that he'll talk trash, even when you're playing golf. He will knock you off your game... But when you see his swing, you're like, 'How do you talk trash so well, and your swing's this bad?'
Even if you shoot 60, now you're aiming for 59. Golf is something you can never master.
Most tall golfers don't have a lot of success. You have trouble getting steep on the ball too much. Stance, posture, all those things can be bad.
