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.
Matthew McConaugheyI struggle off the tee. If I can hit my driver straight, then I’m usually playing well.
Stephen CurryThe game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
Ernest HemingwayWell, 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.
Harper LeeOne 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.
Lyndon B. JohnsonMarathon 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.
Hunter S. ThompsonI played a lot of tough clubs in my time. Once a guy in one of those clubs wanted to bet me $10 that I was dead. I was afraid to bet.
Henny YoungmanI will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person. It’s a pretty good test.
Mark ZuckerbergI’m not feeling very well – I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.
Groucho MarxI have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.
Groucho MarxWhat is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high, people who have jobs see their incomes go up, businesses make big profits. But they’re learned to do more with less, and so they don’t hire.
Barack ObamaI 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.
Marilyn MonroeThe only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
Billy GrahamIn 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.
Lou HoltzThat 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.
Stephen CurryIt is impossible to imagine Goethe or Beethoven being good at billiards or golf.
H. L. MenckenDo not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
Henry David ThoreauYou know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.
EminemI do probably 60 concerts a year in the States. And I go out to clubs in the week. I’m doing new stuff all the time.
Jerry SeinfeldI always tell people that you should only hire people to be on your team if you would work for them.
Mark ZuckerbergI 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 RogersWhen I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn – I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point – and that was it.
Lana Del ReyIn 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.
Lou HoltzHow about a little noise. How do you expect a man to putt?
Babe RuthI was always singing but didn’t plan on pursuing it seriously. When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn – I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point – and that was it.
Lana Del ReyEmployers have decided that having the breadth of knowledge that’s associated with a four-year degree is often something they want to see in the people they give that job to.
Bill GatesThe dispersal of juniper seeds is effected by the plum and cherry plan of hiring birds at the cost of their board, and thus obtaining the use of a pair of extra good wings.
John MuirWe hire people who want to make the best things in the world.
Steve JobsYou can’t hire someone to practice for you.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf.
Bertrand RussellGolf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.
B. C. ForbesThe Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.
Jurgen KloppI 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.
Lou HoltzI cycled when I was at high school, then reconnected with bikes in New York in the late ’70s. It was a good way of getting around the clubs and galleries of the Lower East Side and Soho.
David ByrneI have hobbies. I like being active. I like to surf a lot, play a little bit of golf.
Tom BradyGolf is a good walk spoiled.
Mark TwainThe income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will RogersBy 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.
Richard M. NixonAll my life, I’ve been trying to make a hole-in-one. The closest I’ve come is a bogey.
Lou HoltzWhen I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.
Dolly PartonThe biggest thing is just routine. I think that’s the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players.
Stephen CurryIt’s good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.
Mark TwainThere are so many memories for me in Manchester. Everywhere I go, I think, ‚I used to have boutiques here, clubs there, restaurants in that area.‘
George BestI feel that the best companies are started not because the founder wanted a company but because the founder wanted to change the world… If you decide you want to found a company, you maybe start to develop your first idea. And hire lots of workers.
Mark ZuckerbergWhile playing golf today I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
Henny Youngman
