I have a little calendar thingy on my desk with a different golfing quote each day. Most of them are pretty rubbish but today's made me chuckle.

Lee Trevino to an exasperated Greg Norman who had said to him "Do you mind if we don't talk during the game today?"

"No problem Greg, you don't need to talk. Just listen"

I understood he said that to Tony Jacklin at the Open, 1972 from memory.
 
Three of my favourites were from Walter Hagen, AKA "The Haig" or "Sir Walter". One of golf's greatest players and most charismatic figures.

On his capacity to scramble a par

"Three of those and one of them still count four." (think of Tiger's par save at 18 last night :D)

On his ambitions

"I never wanted to be a millionaire, I just wanted to live like one."

On life in general

"You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way."
