Golf course architects make me sick. They can't play themselves, so they rig the courses so nobody else can play either.

Sam Snead

I've gotten to play so many of the great courses around the country and overseas. Sometimes it pays to be the golf guy. People always want to take me to the golf course. I love it.

Darius Rucker

Golf in India is considered an elite sport. It is not possible for everyone to play in private courses. We need to give opportunities to all who want to play the sport. And for that, we need public golf courses.

Tiger had the advantage of high school, college, and a father who knew golf. I was self-taught. Blacks really won't play golf in great numbers until some of these basketball and football stars buy some golf courses where blacks can play.

Charlie Sifford

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.

Andre Iguodala

Archery is not a sport for everyone. The equipment costs a lot, and it is not easy for everyone to find a place to play. It is perhaps similar to golf, but of course there are more golf courses than archery fields.

Im Dong-Hyun

The majority of people who buy homes in golf course communities don't play golf. Golf is way down at the bottom in terms of total numbers and growth.

Ed McMahon

I love my grandpa so much. I've just spent so many times with him on the golf course. He's watched me play and win so many junior golf tournaments.

Justin Thomas

It's a different style of golf; that stands out for sure when you come over to America. The style of play and the golf courses in America. Most golf courses in America either stretch your game, and test different elements of your game and the margins for error are smaller.

Tommy Fleetwood

I love when architects build a golf course that compliments the landscape rather than intrudes upon it.

Michael Waltrip

It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.

Phil Mickelson

A golf holiday with the guys is always nice. I'm a bit of a bandit on the golf course because I play with a handicap of 10, but I should be lower than that.

Theo Walcott

You have to understand, I don't play golf for fun. It's my business. When the mailman starts delivering mail on his off day, that's when I'll start playing golf for the hell of it. I like to play in tournaments. There are many great courses around the world that I have never played that are next door to tournaments. I have not played them because I don't play for fun.

Lee Trevino

Every time you build a golf course, it’s not a golf course when you get there. You have to improvise.

Pete Dye

The beautiful thing about the game of golf is you can play good golf and compete well into your later years, and you can't do this in basketball or football or baseball. But in golf, it's a longer live sport.

We have 51 golf courses in Palm Springs. He [President Ford] never decides which course he will play until after the first tee shot.
