Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.

Bobby Jones

There's two facets of this game. You know, if I'm not making shots, OK, then I have to do something on defense. So if I'm missing shots or making shots, it doesn't affect my overall game.

Rasheed Wallace

Golf is not a game of great shots. It's a game of most accurate misses. The people who win make the smallest mistakes.

Gene Littler

Basketball is a game of sacrificing yourself for the next guy, being a team that takes good shots, and taking the right shots

David Blatt

Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right - I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.

J. D. Salinger

I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game. You're going to hit bad shots, you're going to be in bad spots, and each course, when you learn it, you learn where not to go.

Tiger Woods

I think once you see a couple shots go down, and when you're getting shots in rhythm, the game flows.

Tyler Herro

Golf is a thinking man's game. You can have all the shots in the bag, but if you don't know what to do with them, you've got troubles.

Chi Chi Rodriguez

Golf is the crack of sports. If you hit five good shots, you know you can hit six good shots. The next time you hit six good shots, you know you can hit seven.

Alice Cooper

I think [Otto Porter Junior] just took a couple tough shots so far - a couple tough jump shots - but I think he has a great mid-range game, he's very tall and can create his shot. So, I think with more spacing he'll get easier shots, I think he'll be fine.

John Wall

I like to play attacking shots, even if it is in the first over of the game. If I get out playing attacking shots, then so be it.

Prithvi Shaw

For me personally, short game, bunker shots aren't too bad.

Xander Schauffele

I try to do a good job of contesting shots and blocking shots and altering shots, but I've got to do a better job of doing more.

Roy Hibbert

But golf being an international game and everybody loving the game the way they do, if you want to spread the game of golf, it's good that you have great competition.

Gary Player

Golf is not about the quality of your good shots, it is about the quality of your bad shots.

Nick Faldo

The poetic temperament is the worst for golf. It dreams of brilliant drives, iron shots laid dead, and long putts holed, while in real golf success waits for him who takes care of the foozles and leaves the fine shots to take care of themselves.

Charles Walter Simpson
