A Quote by Hal Sutton

Let me tell you what's fun in golf - low scores. The manufacturers have tricked people into believing that distance is everything. There is no place on the scorecard that says you need to hit it 350 yards.

I was in a movie called 'Twister,' and in it, I had to hit a golf ball off of a roof with a driving wood. The guy who owned the place where we shot showed me how to do it, and I hit the ball about 150 yards.

Harry Dean Stanton

I hate golf to be tricked up. To me it's a fun game.

Fuzzy Zoeller

I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.

Dennis Quaid

The big question about how people behave is whether they've got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard.

Warren Buffett

I can hit the whiskers on a cat with a football from a distance of forty yards.

Steve Young

Ours is a youth culture, and like a golf tournament, we honor only low scores.

Bill Cosby

I've just come to realize I'm going to share my point of view. Some people won't like me for it. Some people will. I will work every day to be as honest as I can because I do believe that we're all trying to get to the same place. But various people have tricked us into believing that we are not. And I see America going into that space.

Trevor Noah

Today, at 35, I can throw a small football close to 80 yards - and straighter than I can hit a golf ball.

Jimmy Walker

I'm really trying to do everything I can to bring golf to people who have never done it before, as well as just make golf fun and cool.

Paige Spiranac

I've never played golf with Tiger Woods. To tell the truth, I'm not sure that watching him pound it 100 yards past me all day is something I'd like to do.

Tim Finchem

Anybody can play decent golf like me, but people trip on their own minds. They need to create a little distance between what they think and what they do.

Jaggi Vasudev

If you put me in the fairway at my average distance into a par 4, 175 to 180 yards, and you put another player in the rough 120 yards from the green, over time, I'm going to wear him out.

Zach Johnson

The funny thing is, last summer we were golfing together, me, him and Alonzo Mourning. I don't know how to golf, but it's an unbelievable opportunity to go out and golf with one of the greats. And he's out there making fun of my swing - I can't hit the ball - and I'm getting frustrated because I'm a competitor. So Alonzo pulled me aside and said, 'Man, you're getting the chance to golf with Bill Russell. How many people can say they've done that?' And I looked at him and said, 'You know what? You're right.'

Dwyane Wade

You must realize that honorary degrees are given generally to people whose SAT scores were too low to get them into schools the regular way. As a matter of fact, it was my SAT scores that led me into my present vocation in life, comedy.

Neil Simon

Golf is fundamentally about being honest. I see people hit eight shots and tell me they shot five. I never say a word. It is a reminder to me of what is at stake.
