I have hobbies. I like being active. I like to surf a lot, play a little bit of golf.

That summer after the draft was probably the most fun I’ve ever had, because all I had to do every day was wake up and go work out for four or five hours. I got to play some golf, which I love to do, too, and then got to hang out with my family.

I’m not feeling very well – I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.

While playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.

I like my fair share of board games.

The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.

TV’s a big deal in prison. A big deal. People watch it nonstop.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn’t write? But that fortunately hasn’t proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.

I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I’d have a hairy conniption. I’d just go crazy.

The biggest thing is just routine. I think that’s the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players.

You can be passionate about anything.

You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.

I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.

I like making things. I don’t like getting my picture taken.

I always want to create and do things, or draw.

I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.

I have a nice office. I have a nice house… So I’m not denying myself some great things. I just don’t happen to have expensive hobbies.

I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods – that’s where I’m really happy.

The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.

If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.

By the time you get dressed, drive out there, play 18 holes and come home, you’ve blown seven hours. There are better things you can do with your time.

A lot of people like to do certain things, but they’re not that good at it. Keep going through the things that you like to do, until you find something that you actually seem to be extremely good at. It can be anything.

It’s good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.

I like talking. I like acting.

I don’t get bored.

One lesson you better learn if you want to be in politics is that you never go out on a golf course and beat the President.

I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.

Well, they’re Southern people, and if they know you are working at home they think nothing of walking right in for coffee. But they wouldn’t dream of interrupting you at golf.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

As for hobbies, I don’t really read or watch TV.

If you’re a surfer, you just want to surf. You don’t know if anyone’s going to see you, and you don’t really care if they see you. You just live for that feeling.

Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That’s what surfers do – take control of the situation, then be carried, then take control. In the last few thousand years, we’ve become incredibly adept technically. We’ve treasured the controlling part of ourselves and neglected the surrendering part.

I got my buzz from playing.

When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.

How about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?

I think everybody has something that they’ve been obsessed about in their lifetime.

Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.

I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world’s best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf.

I don’t like to be bored.

Playing bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like.

In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.

If he’s got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don’t hire him.

I’m not a nerd, don’t plan to be a nerd and read books – which I can’t do at all.

It is impossible to imagine Goethe or Beethoven being good at billiards or golf.

I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

I don’t race cars.

All my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.

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

I read poetry to save time.

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.

To describe my scarce leisure time in today’s terms, I always default to reading.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness… and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.

I got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.

I’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.

The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.
