The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

Heywood Broun
God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.
Eric Liddell
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
Phil Jackson
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Jim Bouton
Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.
Jack Benny
If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
Jack Lemmon
Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.

Yogi Berra
Fans don't boo nobodies.
Reggie Jackson
Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.
Red Auerbach
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will Rogers
Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.
Mike Singletary
I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.
James Patrick Murray
I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down.
Robert Frost

Jesse Ventura
It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.

Bill Veeck
Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
Billie Jean King
Sports are a microcosm of society.
Billie Jean King
If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.
