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

Scottish golf is a more public game. It is more reasonably priced and they play faster. It isn't cart golf. The only reason resorts force you into carts is for the money. They are selling off the soul of the game for a few dollars.

Daniel J. King

Every day you make mistakes. And the key to making mistakes is first you have to make them, which means you're in the game. So don't be afraid of getting in the game.

Jerry Bruckheimer

Golf is a game of integrity. And golf is a game of forgiveness. I think the high standards of golf remind people of how lucky they are, or how fortunate they are, to be able to play the game.

George W. Bush

Even though we are at the top level, we all make mistakes. We play the game, and mistakes are part of the game.

That's what I've always been about is trying to shine a light on the game of golf and not push people away, with developing the one-length irons, having a new way of swinging the golf club and doing all these different things that look weird, but have been a massive benefit to the game, that's what I'm about.

Bryson DeChambeau

Golf is the only game where the worst player gets the best of it. He obtains more out of it as regards both exercise and enjoyment, for the good player gets worried over the slightest mistake, whereas the poor player makes too many mistakes to worry about them.

David Lloyd George

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

You have to have the kind of personality where you're resilient and you can get up and keep moving and learn what there is. What I tell my employees is, 'I want you to make mistakes. If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough. But, when we make a mistake, let's all study it. Let's all learn from it. After that, we want to make different mistakes. We don't want to keep making the same mistakes.'

Trip Hawkins

You'll make mistakes, but if you make mistakes by trying to do the right things, then they're mistakes that most coaches and most teammates can accept.

Kasper Schmeichel

I make plenty of mistakes and I'll make plenty more mistakes, too. That's part of the game. You've just got to make sure that the right things overcome the wrong ones.

Warren Buffett

I feel more strongly than ever about this. I would like the professional game freed of golf carts. Golf is a physical game. If we are playing competitive professional golf, we should walk. When I can't walk 18 holes, I'll pack it in.

Arnold Palmer

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

Golf challenges you mentally at any age, and when you become my age, it's a challenge physically to try to make your game work as well as it ever did. That's close to impossible, but that doesn't keep you from trying to hit the ball where you used to hit it and make the putts you used to make all the time.

Arnold Palmer

Basketball is a game of mistakes, and we know that we can make mistakes, but things that you can't do is lack effort.
