GOLF QUOTES
"I wanted to be his child. If I was a child I wouldn't play golf anymore, I'd be sitting in a boat somewhere spending all dad's money. I've been trying to get him to adopt me for the last five years, but he wouldn't do it." John Daly when asked his thoughts on Tiger Woods becoming a father.
"I think when I made the turn on the front nine I thought it had to be pretty close to setting a record somewhere. The only time I've been 9 under through nine has been playing Tiger Woods on Play Station." Brandt Snedeker after his blistering opening nine holes at the Buick Invitational.
"I laid my head on the pillow last night and had four alarm clocks set, and I had somebody call from my office. I was scared to death. I had this vision of running down No. 3 going 'I'm here, I'm here' and missing that 7:30 tee time." Car dealer Skipper Beck recalling his emotions on the eve of playing in a pro-am alongside Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan.
"She must know I'm a pretty good tennis player." Adam Scott joking with reporters on tennis beauty Maria Sharapova listing the 26-year-old Aussie - who noted that he has a girlfriend - among her top 10 desired mixed doubles partners. On her website, Sharapova had Scott listed at No. 6, with a comment in parenthesis "night match, please?"
"If anybody laughs when I hit it, they're dead - we've got Secret Service here." Former US President George H.W. Bush joking with the gallery at the opening ceremony of the AT&T National.
"Hell of a host." A tongue-in-cheek Jim Furyk referring to Tiger Woods' success at his own tournament, the Target World Challenge.
"You would think I would be smart enough to figure it out myself after about three years, but I wasn't quite clever enough." Darren Clarke after belatedly discovering his poor form was down to having the wrong length of shafts in his irons.
"Like an octopus falling out of a tree." Former Irish golfer David Feherty passes comment on Jim Furyk's swing.
"Nicklaus' courses are like Jack himself - grim and humourless with sharp edges." Peter Thomson on the Golden Bear's course designs.
"Everything was fine until I walked on to the first tee." Seve Ballesteros after hitting a shot into the trees at the first hole of his opening round in the Madrid Open.
"I tried but every time I worked out I threw up, and I thought to myself that you can get drunk and throw up, so it's just not for me. I'd rather smoke, drink Diet Cokes and eat." John Daly opts to continue with his fatness regime after Woods claimed his rivals were not fit enough to challenge him.
Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
