Byron Nelson People Quotations

It was so much different in those days. People ran their tournaments pretty much to suit themselves.

I played with him in a tournament in Ontario, Canada. I was leading going into the last round. He was about 45 minutes late. You could do that in those days, especially name players. He did things you'd get disqualified for now. He'd call and say, 'I'll be late, but I'll be there.' Anything to draw the people and his name drew people. He was a top showman. He was always a jolly sort of a guy. I don't know anybody who didn't like him.
