• When I would sell encyclopedias, I would drive down the road looking for a house with a swing set in the back, and I'd say, "Oh, those folks got kids. They need some books." I'd knock on their door and sell them a set of encyclopedias, and those books were from $300 to $600. I'd look around the house, and if there wasn't that much furniture in the house, I felt a little bad about selling a $600 set of books to people who couldn't afford a couch. So I didn't last at that job very long.

• Tener un buen swing ayuda bajo presión, pero el golf es un juego de puntuación. Es como un artista que puede comprar un pincel de cinco centímetros en Wal-Mart por 20 céntimos o un pincel fino de pelo de camello en una tienda de arte por 20 dólares. El pincel no importa, lo que importa es el resultado final.

• PLease, do not visualize that we exist above you such as in heaven. The concepts above and below are products of your mind. The soul does not swing upwards. It exists in the center and orients itself in every direction.

• Just trust your instincts. There's an old saying in golf, you've studied the swing many times, and you practice and practice, but when you stand over the ball, you just have to trust your swing. And you trust it. And if you don't trust it, you'll ruin it; your brain will take over.

• Each side takes the position of the man who was arrested for swinging his arms and hitting another in the nose, and asked the judge if he did not have a right to swing his arms in a free country. 'Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man's nose begins.

• A lo largo de los años, EMILY's List ha trabajado mucho con mujeres votantes indecisas, y algo que hemos aprendido es que son muy cínicas respecto a la política y los políticos. Quieren ayuda para superar los retos a los que se enfrentan ellas y sus familias, y creen que la mayoría de los políticos no entienden ni quieren mover un dedo para ayudarlas.

• The universe, which is not merely the stars and the moon and the planets, flowers, grass and trees, but other people, has evolved no terms for your existence, has made no room for you, and if love will not swing wide the gates, no other power will or can. And if one despairs-- as who has not?-- of human love, God's love alone is left.

• Teenagers talk about the idea of having each other's 'full attention.' They grew up in a culture of distraction. They remember their parents were on cell phones when they were pushed on swings as toddlers. Now, their parents text at the dinner table and don't look up from their BlackBerry when they come for end-of-school day pickup.

• No pensé en nada en toda la semana. Pensaba que mi caddie [Jerry Beard] conocía el campo mucho mejor que yo, así que extendía la mano y jugaba con cualquier palo que me pusiera. Le decía: "¿Con qué fuerza le pego?". Él me lo decía y yo hacía el swing. Los que vienen aquí una vez al año e intentan pasarse de listos con el campo del Sr. Jones son los tontos.

• No se le puede decir a un niño que es hora de hacer ejercicio; eso le desanima... Hay que decirle: 'Vamos al parque a divertirnos'. Entonces puedes hacer que corran, que jueguen en los columpios, que practiquen en la barra de equilibrio... básicamente, que hagan un ejercicio completo disfrazado de juego.

• If we had to play Augusta National in one hour, the best athlete would win the Masters. But as it is, they give us time to hang ourselves. Every swing is a 'thought shot'. So instead of the best athlete, you end up with the best thinker as the winner.

• Para adquirir un dominio elemental del juego del golf, un ser humano debe aprender, mediante una práctica interminable, una serie continua y sutil de movimientos muy poco naturales, en los que intervienen unos sesenta y cuatro músculos, que dan como resultado un swing aparentemente natural, que tarda dos segundos en empezar y terminar.

• Nunca doy un golpe, ni siquiera en los entrenamientos, sin tener una imagen muy nítida y enfocada en la cabeza. Es como una película en color. Primero "veo" dónde quiero que termine, bonito y blanco y en lo alto de la hierba verde brillante. Luego la escena cambia rápidamente y "veo" la pelota yendo hacia allí: su trayectoria, su forma, incluso su comportamiento al aterrizar. Entonces se produce una especie de fundido, y la siguiente escena me muestra haciendo el tipo de swing que convertirá las imágenes anteriores en realidad.

• "Hit it with the back of your left hand" was the first swing thought I ever heard, brusquely bu not unlovingly put to me by the aunt-in-law who had moments before placed a golf club in my virgin grip. I was twenty-five, and had spent my youth in a cloisterd precinct of teh middle class where golf was a rumoured something, like champagne breakfasts and divorce, that the rich did.

• I assume my stance, and take back the club, low, slowly; at the top, my eyes fog over, and my joints dip and swirl like barn swallows, I swing. There is a fruitless commotion of dust and rubber at my feet. "Smothered it," I say promptly. After enough lessons the terminology becomes second nature.

• What other sport holds out hope of improvement to a man or a woman over fifty? True, the pros begin to falter at around forty, but it is their putting nerves that go, not their swings. For a duffer like [me], the room for improvement is so vast that three lifetimes could be spent roaming the fiarways carving away at it, convinced that perfection lies just over the next rise. And that hope, perhaps, is the kindest bliss of all that golf bestows upon its devotees.

• Al jugar a la pelota, y en la vida, a una persona se le presenta de vez en cuando la oportunidad de hacer algo grande. Cuando llega ese momento, sólo importan dos cosas: estar preparado para aprovechar el momento y tener el valor de hacer tu mejor swing.

• For many years I had an impression of my golf swing, which was that I vividly resembled Tom Weiskopf in the takeaway and Dave Marr on the downswing. Unfortunately, there came a day when I was invited to have my golf swing filmed via a video camera. Something I will never do again. When it was played back, what I saw - what you would have seen - was not Weiskopf and Marr but a man simultaneously climbing into a sweater and falling out of a tree.
