I knew I was going to be a pro golfer from the age of 12, when I qualified for the Carris Trophy, which is for under-18s. That was when I thought I was OK at golf. I had no clue about how difficult the game actually is at that age of course – I was blissfully unaware of all the hard work ahead.
My dad’s a scratch golfer and I’ve got the knack of seeing something and then replicating it. I saw my dad swing a club and I worked out how to do the same thing. My backswing and follow-through have been basically the same since I was two.
I have been known to play a few rounds in my time. I’m not obsessive; I don’t play in the dark, but even that’s not out of the question because Stevie Wonder is also a golfer.
And if you’re a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it’s not great, then you’re not going to believe in the golf story, you’re not going to believe in the rest of the film. That’s the whole movie, so if that swing looks like crap, the movie’s crap.
I’m a golfer and have had three holes in one.
I may not go down in history as the best female golfer to ever play, however my intent is to do whatever I can to grow the game.
I think I’ve heard somebody say that I was a well-dressed golfer. I guess that has something to do with the fact that a lot of people who play golf don’t dress very well.
I’m not a golfer. I don’t fish. I don’t even watch TV.
My goal has always been to play golf, and play it well. In the end, that’s what I am, a golfer. If my back lets me, I’m going to play my favorite places. If I hurt myself, that’ll probably be it for a while.
From the time I won the Kansas City Match Play championship at age 14, I never wanted to be anything but a golfer.
This is the great thing about Northern Ireland. I walk down the street and people stop me and say things like, ‘I know you. You’re that wee golfer, aren’t you?’ I say, ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ They say, ‘Keep it up, wee man.’ It’s very funny and that’s why I want to stay here as long as possible.
All I ever wanted was to be a golfer on the LPGA tour. That’s still my dream, but getting there has turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought.
I don’t have the look of a golfer. Do I look like a rock star? I didn’t make it playing guitar so I started playing golf!
I’m a big golfer, so in the offseason, that’s all I do – golf and play basketball. But during the season, I like to go bowling, watch movies. I love going to the movies. I go to the movies in every city we go. And when I’m at home I play video games all day.
The Masters is one of golf’s greatest traditions and Augusta is one of the best courses in the world. They are synonymous. It’s an event that every golfer, and golf fan, looks forward to.
I practice a lot. I practice in the winter when it’s cold in Connecticut – a lot. I practice in my bedroom on the carpet – a lot. For all the practice I do, I should be a better golfer than I am.
Just to be able to say you’re No. 1, you are the best golfer on the planet, just for one day, would be the best thing ever. Knowing that you were the best in the world would be pretty neat.

The recreational golfer who gives it careful thought will conclude that the favorite golf hole in his life played downhill, gradually or severely, and normally was downwind as well.
Americans believe if you go to college, you have something to fall back on, which makes sense. I don’t have any degrees. If I hadn’t become a golfer, I have no idea what I would be doing with my life.
I don’t play anymore, because I know I’m not going to be a pro golfer. So there’s no reason to golf.
I did a tandem parachute jump when I opened a golf course in Atlanta, Georgia. I jumped out of a plane at 15,000 feet to land on the first tee, and then I played a couple of holes with golfer Arnold Palmer. That was brilliant.
I was a pretty average golfer.
Sam Snead had perhaps the most stylish solution to the balding golfer: A snappy fedora that became his signature style, so much so that many never knew he was tonsorially bereft.
Actually, I am a golfer. That is my real occupation. I never was an actor. Ask anybody, particularly the critics.
I want people to see that golf is fun and it’s cool. You don’t have to be a professional golfer to enjoy it.
I’m an awful golfer.
St. Andrews is the Home of Golf and the greatest course in the world. Any time you can win at St. Andrews would be special. It’s every golfer’s dream to win out here.

My father was a very good golfer and he got me started early. My grandfather played, too. It was just something that the Kroft family did. I kind of grew up on the golf course.
