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

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.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

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 regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

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

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.

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.

When I’m surfing, I’m sure not thinking about the paparazzi. I guess if they start getting on floaties and coming out there in the water, then I might be a little upset.

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.

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

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.

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.

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

I like my fair share of board games.

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

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.

I like talking. I like acting.

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.

When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don’t take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn’t know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don’t talk about baseball at home.

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

Golf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.

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.

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

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

I don’t like to be bored.

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 don’t race cars.

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.

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.

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

I read poetry to save time.

I struggle off the tee. If I can hit my driver straight, then I’m usually playing well.

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

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

My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.

I got my buzz from playing.

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

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.

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

You can be passionate about anything.

I don’t profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.

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

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

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.
