I've got the drinkers and the smokers and the eaters on my side.

Everyone has addictions and my problem is that I have 5,000 of them. If it's not drinking, it's gambling if it's not gambling, it's eating anything from burgers, doughnuts to M&Ms. The only addiction I don't suffer from is chasing women.

This fitness thing is blown out of proportion. What am I going to do on a treadmill - smoke a cigarette and drink a diet Coke?

You're playing competitive, and it's always better to play four competitive rounds than it is two because you sit there for a weekend and then you start all over again.

Most change initiatives either fail or fall far short of original (perhaps unrealistic) expectations. More often than not, resistance is cultural in nature, the result of what James O'Toole so aptly characterizes as the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom.

Stories match the way our species thinks. Equally important, stories are something we share - everyone everywhere tells stories and oddly enough, in the same way. It all probably started around some campfire a million years ago.

There are probably some things I could do to keep my flexibility up, but I'd rather smoke, drink diet Cokes and eat.

Do I have to know rules and all that crap? Then forget it.

I don't care what anybody says. The first tournament is not the hardest one to win. It's always the second one.

I hit the ball as hard as I can. If I can find it, I hit it again.

Idea-Advocacy Matrix highlights a couple of things: that good ideas need to be sold if they are ever going to see the light of day and bad ideas sometimes do quite well because of the skills of the proponent to sell them.

All four days I didn't think. I just hit. Squeaky (Medlen, his caddy) said 'kill' and I killed it.
