Jeff Nobers Quotations

We donated $15,000 in materials necessary to construct the house.

The charities will benefit from the move to the summer as well. We'll get a better field, bigger crowds, more corporate sponsorship opportunities and greater exposure on CBS than ESPN.

We had four that were really impacted. Right now we are focused on assessing where the stores stand and how our associates faired. We had a great many people that lived in that area and we haven't gotten a hold of everyone yet. All we know right now is that all four stores still stand with varying levels of damage.

We have a history of doing things in situations like these. And our president has made it clear that we want to talk to all of our associates, some of whom lost homes, and we will help them first before we begin assessing what role we can play overall.

So far this year, we've donated in excess of $2.5 million in materials and cash to Habitat for Humanity on a national basis.

It was in a market that was growing but has declined, at least as far as housing starts. What it all comes down to is housing starts. Our benchmark is 3,000 starts annually in a market. There were not very many in these areas and 95 percent of our customers are builders. It is not a people issue, it is a market issue.

We're after Tiger Woods every year. I'm sure we'll be talking to him.

The PGA Tour is very dedicated to charitable giving. That is the hallmark of the tour. The players' wives, when they are at a tournament, try to get into the community effort somewhere.

We're expecting between 200,000 and 225,000 people. So, the feeling is that if everyone just donates $1 we'll get at least that much.

At the end of the day, it was a very emotional and difficult decision not to continue with the golf tournament.
