If you see a player out in public having dinner, chances are he's with his boring money manager or some boring rich guy he hopes to design a golf course for.

You can't have a U.S. Open anymore without an extra course to store all the hospitality tents. I used to be able to drive up to the clubhouse and park like the players. Now, there are seven corporate hospitality guys who have my spot, and I'm on a bus.

My real heroes have always been sportswriters.
Dan Jenkins -
CEOs are worried they're going to get fired any minute. They're worried about their portfolios.
Dan Jenkins -
High school golf, college golf and the decade that followed all come back to me now as one big raucous, goofy gangsome.
Dan Jenkins -
I don't know how television or radio is going to survive without newspapers because that's where they get all their news. It's going to be hopeless.
Dan Jenkins -
Putting is not an art, it's a dreaded evil. No wise man ever said that.
Dan Jenkins -
Jack Nicklaus is the greatest winner I've ever seen.

It must be the PGA Championship if it's August and you can sit down and talk to the heat or reach inside your shirt, where it's 110 degrees, and grab handfuls of humidity.
Dan Jenkins -
I haven't looked for a golf ball since mulligans were free, which was a law I passed in 1995.
Dan Jenkins -
I think newspapers will survive in some form or another.
Dan Jenkins -
I'd rather be doing something than not doing something.
Dan Jenkins -
I actually don't have a single regret, professionally or domestically. I planned it that way.

Valet parking is an essential at any decent club.

Of course, Dwight D. Eisenhower gets credit for doing more for golf than any other White House resident, a mid- to high-handicapper though he was.
Dan Jenkins -
Among the many things that have slipped up on me while my back was turned are all of these challenging and well-manicured public courses that have sprung up across America with elegant bars and restaurants.
Dan Jenkins -
I like to be entertained, not smothered with 'literary' riddles.
Dan Jenkins -
The PGA Championship, last of the majors each year, might well be accustomed to having fun poked at it by the print press for being mired in August, but this isn't fair.
Dan Jenkins -
I can only tell you that eggs, country ham, biscuits, a pot of coffee, a morning paper, a table by the window overlooking the veranda and putting green, listening to the idle chitchat of competitors, authors, wits and philosophers, hasn't exactly been a torturous way to begin each day at the Masters all these years.
Dan Jenkins -
A sportswriter's life means never sitting with your wife or family at the games. Still working after everyone has gone to the party... Digging beneath a coach's lies, not to forget those of athletic directors and general managers and owners of pro teams. Keeping a confidence. Risking it.

Everybody in the Olympics is paid. Lindsay Vonn is going to make a million dollars whether she skis or not.
Dan Jenkins -
There have been so many great tournaments that I've been privileged to see, and people paid me to go watch, that I'm awfully grateful for it.
Dan Jenkins -
The key to any good sports story is identifying the defining moment. In football games or a boxing match, it's usually pretty obvious. But in golf, sometimes it happens on Thursday. Usually it's Sunday, but guys who don't know the game, they can miss it.
Dan Jenkins -
There's nothing anyone can do about Tiger Woods but look at his game and swoon.
