I don't have contempt for Tiger Woods.
I quickly discovered that trying to go play golf while living in Manhattan was about as easy as trying to grab a taxi while standing out in front of Saks Fifth Avenue in the freezing rain on the last shopping day before Christmas.
I haven't looked for a golf ball since mulligans were free, which was a law I passed in 1995.
Prescott Bush was himself a president of the U. S. Golf Association at one time - 1935 - before he became a U.S. senator from the state of Connecticut.
I don't know how television or radio is going to survive without newspapers because that's where they get all their news. It's going to be hopeless.
I actually don't have a single regret, professionally or domestically. I planned it that way.
A sportswriter's life means never sitting with your wife or family at the games. Still working after everyone has gone to the party... Digging beneath a coach's lies, not to forget those of athletic directors and general managers and owners of pro teams. Keeping a confidence. Risking it.
There have been so many great moments in golf that you even forget some of them.
Golf is 90% mental. Once you know how to hold the club, swing it, it's all in the mind.
All I've ever done is try to get at the truth of the matter.
Title IX came along and changed a lot of things for the better, but nevertheless, it meant that money became more important.
Everybody in the Olympics is paid. Lindsay Vonn is going to make a million dollars whether she skis or not.
I love Twitter.
My real heroes have always been sportswriters.
Tiger Woods was a month away from 34 years of age when his debutantes began turning up in the news. He was a grown man with a wife and two children. Well, we supposed he had a wife, but that was before we learned she was only an ornament.
Kids flew B-17s in daylight bombing raids over Germany in World War II. Kids fought in Korea and Vietnam.
I just come from a school where you have to win something to be accepted.
In a story, you have to have a theme and an angle, you have to have a beginning, middle and an end. You have to have a defining moment and kick it to death. You gotta be able to recognize that, by the way. It probably takes experience.
I hate political correctness.
I don't suppose anybody's ever enjoyed being who they are more than Arnold's enjoyed being Arnold Palmer.
