Greg Norman Golf Quotations

I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I'd be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation.

The game of golf doesn't come rushing back to you. Last week I made a couple of fundamental mistakes that I probably wouldn't have made in the heat of the battle back when I was in my heyday, and those things have got to come back.

Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I've spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world.

My doctor asked me how many golf balls I had hit in my career. I'm lying there in bed calculating somewhere between four and five million golf balls I had hit to do that on my body.

So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I've got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that's the way I'm going to take it.

I don't see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.

Obviously it's my second senior event, and I'm tired obviously coming back from the British Open, from surgery, which was priority No. 1, did that successfully, and each week since the British Open I've felt in pretty good control of my golf game.

I got to know the lines on the golf course. You know where you're hitting the ball, you know where the trouble is, trying to keep it away from it. So I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with it and hopefully I can keep it going the next couple of days.

If I play more golf and feel competitive, it's going to be on the regular tour. I don't see myself adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.

I feel for Ernie. He knows what he needs. But he's got to slow down, because this running all around the world has caught up to him. Not his golf game, it's just his head. It tires you out. It's just tough.

Jason emerged out of nowhere and gave the golf world a welcome breath of fresh air. His personality and pure enjoyment of the game are just tremendous. He is a person that represents the true spirit of the Shootout and will be a welcome addition to this elite, 24-person field.

Destiny wasn't going to let me win that golf tournament. It wasn't going to happen.

I knew today I could shoot myself out of the tournament and I didn't want to do that. I wanted to play consistent, steady golf. I've been doing that now for six rounds of golf going back to The Open, and in truth I'm looking forward to continuing it on.

I screwed up. It's all on me. I know that...All these hiccups I have, they must be for a reason. All this is just a test. I just don't know what the test is yet.

If I had won...all those other championships, my life might be totally different, but I didn't win. It's not going to affect my life.

We've got to abide by the rules. We have to protect it. The game of golf at a professional level is so clean. We are our own judge, jury and executioner. If we don't do what we think is right, the game might get away from us.

There is no room on the golf course for anger or self-pity.

Sometimes things work out on the golf course and sometimes they don't. Life will go on. You try to understand what happens, but maybe today I don't want to know. I just screwed up so maybe I should just put it behind me.

Aggressive play is a vital asset of the world's greatest golfers. However, it's even more important to the average player. Attack this game in a bold, confident, and determined way, and you'll make a giant leap toward realizing your full potential as a player.

I can honestly say in my entire career, I've never gone around a golf course and not mis-hit a shot, but today I never missed a shot. I hit every driver perfect, every iron perfect. I'm in awe of myself.

Happiness is a long walk with a putter.
