Greens Quotations

Letting the greens dictate your energy choices, whether it's halting the XL Pipeline or fracking in New York, isn't just bad economics. It can also leave your rivals and enemies controlling your energy destiny.

I read the greens in Spanish, but putt in English.

Lunch is a big huge salad with every color in it. From leafy greens to purple to herbs, fresh cut herbs mixed into it for flavors. I vary what I toss into it. Sometimes it might be lentils and chopped tomatoes, other days it could be garbanzo beans, some days I might have just a salad and have some lentil soup on the side.

The Greens simply don't understand that a strong economy is the key to a better Victoria for all Victorian families.

The Greens will threaten the future of our strong economy. They will destroy jobs and put Victorian families at risk.

Augusta is a very unique golf course. It's a long hitters' course; main reason is because the greens are so severe, and the areas where they put the pin is such a small area. The little plateaus and undulations mean it's incredibly important to be close to that pin so you can be aggressive.

The greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.

I love green juices - the ones that include lots of actual greens and don't include too much apple. Because those are just meant to be yummy, and we all know things that are too yummy aren't the best for us, unfortunately.

If I've gone to the market on Saturday, and I go another time on Tuesday, then I'm really prepared. I can cook a little piece of fish; I can wilt some greens with garlic; I can slice tomatoes and put a little olive oil on. It's effortless.

I love collard greens and sweet potatoes. But like, traveling, I'm always just looking for that thing where you feel like there's love in the food. Like one of the best things, in Brazil it's feijoada. I was in Tobago in the winter, and I had the best roti I've ever had, with curry goat.

We've got a mix of holes. We've got greens that are stuck up in the air and greens that are flat on the ground. So we've got a real variety not only of looks, but how you can attack the holes.

We've tried to get the guys working around the greens a little bit more effectively.

We are also going to re-build the greens and put a mechanical irrigation system underneath, the goal is to make it firm, fast and fair.

We achieved our goal with the Ignite ball by offering the serious player easier access to 3-piece performance. This ball is perfect for the player who is looking for lower spin and maximum distance. We also believe that it will instill confidence in players' attempts to shape shots so that they can reach greens in regulation and, ultimately, attack pins.

Yesterday, I couldn't feel comfortable over the putter, I thought the greens were very bumpy. Today, I had a tee time about an hour and 15 minutes earlier. The conditions were a lot better, less people walking around on the greens. I think that was important for me because I started to roll in some putts and I felt a lot better.

We've scored under 200 in all of our matches. Last year we averaged 220. We're striking the ball really well. We need some work on our short game. We kind of lost our focus around the greens lately, but I think that will come back.

The (placement of) pins are a lot easier on Thursday. And when the greens dry out, as they should this week, it's only going to get harder.

We're showing so much green, ... Everything from emerald green to puce, to chartreuse, to a real sort of hunter and forest and dark greens that we haven't seen in a long time.

Length is always going to get its due. Playing shorter clubs into these greens makes a huge difference, I can assure you. But, really, no matter how long or short the course plays, you have to deal with these greens. They have been the main defense of this course, and always will be. I hope they never change, because they are fascinatingly complex.

Low scores are going to happen with no wind. There's no rough, and the greens are perfect.

Scott didn't have a good day on the greens today. If he did, I probably don't win the golf tournament.

She's hitting the ball as good as I've seen her shoot, but the short game and greens were treacherous.

She's consistent across her golf game. She doesn't have many weaknesses. She doesn't make a lot of big numbers. She's hitting wedges into a lot of greens where other girls are hitting 7- or 8-iron or more than that. She's making a lot more birdies this year.

Since we have to order things by the case at the restaurant, I tend to shop at the stores, just like everyone else. Many of the greens lend themselves to cooked dishes, not just salads.

My main goal was to try to start off quick and just hit fairways and greens and basically do what I've been doing,

My focus today was my iron shots and my putting. The greens are fast here, which is good because I usually like fast greens. I've been feeling good with my putter and I haven't missed many shots. I'm just playing good and making birdies.

Obviously I'm very happy with my position. It was good steady golf, hitting a lot of fairways and greens and I'm putting very well.

Obviously (I must) get off to a better start. The course is soft and the greens are receptive. You still have to get it done.

On the first day, Luke was steady. He came back even steadier on the second day. In golf terms, he hit the fairways with consistency. He hit 25 of 36 greens and the greens were pretty challenging. They had cut them and then they double cut them so they would be a little bit quicker.

I was for Gore. I thought that Gore and the Democrats were pretty clueless as to what Nader and the Greens represented, and they acted like bullies.

I would have preferred to have finished and have a half hour extra in bed in the morning. I played very well, very solid tee to green and was quite good on the greens as well.

I didn't really play all that well. I missed a lot of greens but I chipped and putted very well and holed a lot of good putts for pars. The greens were a bit more tricky this afternoon with all the traffic. I felt I could have shot a good round. I was three under through six and then nothing happens,

I don't hit as many greens as the top players, but this weekend my ball striking was far, far better, ... I hit a lot more greens.

I didn't make any mistakes today, kept the ball in play, hit a lot of greens and probably the only flaw on my whole day was I didn't make the putts that I thought I would.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow. It feels good just now...If I can keep the game plan to hit the greens and not try to be too offensive when the flags are too far back on the greens, then I will be all right.

Catriona played brilliantly, and I felt I really hung in there. I didn't hit too many greens but I got up and down and it was a great way to finish.

Basically what it boils down to is whether Angela Merkel detaches the Greens from Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder into a coalition with her and the Free Democrats, or whether Chancellor Schroeder detaches the Free Democrats from Angela Merkel's side.

Basically, it takes the best player who's on form to win this tournament. The conditions here, maybe, make more difference than at a lot of places. When it gets a little firmer, the second shots become probably the toughest on Tour because the greens are very small and there's only certain areas where you can go with your second shots. In that regard, it doesn't matter longer or shorter hitter. Accuracy is at a premium.

I'm at a more competitive level than I was a few months ago, driving the ball better, hitting my irons better, hitting more greens and making a couple more putts.

I felt like I putted well. The greens are a little bumpy out there, but you have to be careful not to run the putts by.

I finished with a birdie, so I think I'll leave this place with a smile, ... This was the first time I played here in the morning. The greens were a lot smoother and in great shape. It's too bad I had only four holes (to play Monday).

I feel good down here. The course suits my eye. The course is in such great shape. The greens are very good. You feel like you should make some putts.

I can't speak for Ben. What he has done is miraculous. For him to - he doesn't hit the ball a long way - I'm sure he's going into these greens with long irons. I was driving it (Friday) to where I had 9-irons and wedges to a lot of holes.

I can't read greens and she won us shots.

Go back to the greens and practice, putting greens and chip.

He had some great shots, like the two eagle putts, which we normally see Tiger make. They just didn't go in today, and it didn't look like he hit terrible putts. The greens really did get a lot quicker this afternoon from what they had been all week.

Had results been fair, it is possible that we may have even seen a different government. The Liberals, NDP and Greens represent a majority, and together they would have held a majority of seats.

We're on smooth greens again. Even though they're a little bit grainy, you'd much rather see the ball roll than bounce.

The rain on Sunday night combined with the warm temperatures have caused us to lose the over-seed on our greens and you can't have that happen. With a cold front moving through the next couple of days with more wind, the greens should get faster.

The rain is making the course play so much harder and while it was like throwing darts at the greens yesterday, today it was a lot more difficult to find the hole.

He was flying traps at 320 yards, chipping on to the greens and generally putting us under a lot of pressure.

He is the greatest putter on the fastest greens ever.

Hank Paulson has cast his lot with radical greens and their crusade against the global economy. If he?s not careful, he?s going to match Rachel Carson?s record for spreading death and destruction in the developing world.

I was just amazed at how good the course was, just incredible the shape it was in with all the rain. I only had to take casual water relief twice, and the greens held up very well.

Just too slow. It took us 5 hours to play. ... Around the greens it just took forever to play. Toward the end, it took its toll. I had a partner that wasn't very fast, either. ... I have a pace and I play to my pace. I don't know what the officials are doing. We had 20, 25 minutes behind time, they are just not stepping up and saying, 'Hey, you are slow. Hurry up.

It can only get tougher out there when the wind starts blowing and the greens dry out.

I think the condition is perfect. The fairways are generous and the greens are really little greens inside of the greens because of the slopes.

I think that the Green Party should run a woman for president in 2008. Under the right circumstances, I'd be happy to be the Vice Presidential candidate of the right Green woman because the Greens take gender equality seriously.

It is good enough. The way we played it, there are a lot of long-iron shots, the greens have a lot of slope to them, so it is definitely a pretty good test.

I thought Shannon had a decent day by her standards. She had a tough time with her putts, but for her to score a 74 when she is struggling on the greens is pretty good.

I think it was harder today than other days. There was more wind today, but the greens are so good and guys out here are going to make putts.

I think it was harder today than other days, ... There was more wind today, but the greens are so good and guys out here are going to make putts.

I think it's very tricky, ... There are so many different bounces you can get on the fairways, on the greens and everywhere, really. It's not playing long, but it's really tricky. The greens are a little roughed up, so I'm looking forward to a morning tee time.

I think sometimes parents and teachers can push children away from reading by telling them it's something they must do, the same way they must eat their greens and must pass their exams in school. Poppycock! Read or don't read - that's your call.

I think someone who is on will post really low scores this week. The greens are perfect. Somebody who is on is going to hit a lot of shots close.

I was a bit rusty around the greens but I've got three weeks to tighten up my short game and get ready for Perth (where he will defend his title at the Johnnie Walker Classic).

I was just trying to hang in there and make a birdie because you never know what might happen out there with the wind swirling and the greens firm.

I was just hitting good putts but just not quite hitting them. They've got to be perfect, the greens are so pure.

Just an easy day. Practice a little bit; see what the greens are like. We've got until Friday. That's plenty of time to play the course.

Kyle has really fine-tuned his game. The only weakness in his game could be in distance, because of his young age. The rest of his game seems to be flawless. He is very talented around the greens in short play, and that's what allows him to score very well in the tournaments. ... He spends an endless amount of time on putting greens.

I think experience helps a lot out here. The greens have a lot of tendencies and subtle breaks. I've been about everywhere on this golf course, both good and bad.

I saw the greens very well today and I read the greens very well, especially on the front nine. That was the key, putting well. I didn't drive too well. I only hit six fairways out of 14, so I did well to shoot 64.

Our greens are as fast as I've ever seen, and the fairways are like runways.

Our chipping and putting is improving, but we're still having some three-shot greens. The greens were a little slick, but overall the course is in good shape.

or collard greens or whatever the hell they serve.

Stats are important to me, especially the ones related to scoring. You're going to miss fairways and greens out here, so how you play from the sand really matters.

I still miss the South, the collard greens and the Bulldogs,

I thought it was phenomenal. The design is very intelligent. The greens are like pool tables. They're so smooth and perfectly maintained, it's ridiculous.

I thought I played quite well today. I got off to a really good start. I'm a little disappointed in the end when it was getting so dark. I couldn't really read the greens for the last few holes.

The areas around the greens are nowhere as good as they were in '99.... It's not as manicured, not as perfect

That will make the greens firmer and it will make it more difficult for the PGA Tour professionals to throw darts. I think that will address the issues the players have. I'm as surprised as anyone by the low scores. This isn't what I saw happening at the beginning of the week.

You can definitely make some birdies. The greens are little softer, so you can attack the holes a little bit.

We do very aggressive litigation and trial work. So we prefer an activity that dovetails nicely with that aggressive culture, and hitting a little white ball on the greens doesn't do much for us.

We don't discount our greens fees. We try to put up signs about the wetness and cart paths only. We do remind our golfers about the conditions.

We do know on this golf course, conditions can change dramatically. If this thing gets a little hard, fast, the greens start to dry out, it goes from being a golf course that can be had to a golf course that you're just hanging on for dear life to save par.

We've lived on that putter. And once he gets it in the right position on greens this fast, he's dangerous.

Today was frustrating. I didn't really hit the ball too badly, I just struggled on the greens more than anything.

Yeah, we've had some high winds and there's been some tough scores out there and the conditions are tough. But for me, I just like playing that way. I like the way the greens are set up here a lot.

When I first saw the course 18 years ago, it was so intimidating. It was a new style of golf, a new concept. So it took some time for guys to learn to like it. It's a great venue, because it's the most precise golf we have to play all year. You have to hit fairways and greens there. There's none of this hit-four-out-of-14-fairways-and-still- shoot-68 on that golf course.

We got off to a good start. Our kids were really throwing darts with their irons and the greens are putting real well. You're going to see a lot of good scores after this round - not just ours, but from a lot of people.

Those greens was good, ... I had some good meals at the hotel, but this sticks to me. This is soul food.

You know with these greens being this smooth, good putts go in.

To grow a lawn that greens up naturally each spring and that resists drought and disease, you need to foster a strong root system.

The pin placements were very hard, ... The greens were actually a little softer today, but the pins and the wind made them tougher. I knew there weren't going to be any 65s today.

Tough day. I don't know. I tried hard. Couldn't get much going. It's difficult with the wind. The greens are really slick. ... It's almost like glass.

Tough conditions and a Sunday on a difficult golf course, where the greens were just right on the limit - I think he played awesome.

We call him 'plod'. It's fairways and greens with Luke, he kind of plods his way around the golf course. He's a very boring player, which is a compliment in golf.

We visited the course last fall. It has large greens and long fairways, so it's set up very well for our team.

We had a couple of train wrecks towards the end of the day. We were playing really well through eight holes. These greens are fast and bent. We are not experienced in that area, so we had some experience to gain today.

With all the rain we had overnight, the greens were definitely softer, slower. But still rolling very nicely. The conditions were very nice, close to perfect.
