Jim Dougherty Quotations

I am sure it is a great frustration. We are a major medical center, but right now we are limited to a small tent hospital,

To us, the biggest social issue of the day is what we are doing to the planet's atmosphere because of (President) Bush's decision to convert us to a coal-based electrical society.

After a review of all the candidates and a careful look at the record of the governor's first term, it is the belief of this union that Rod Blagojevich deserves our support in the primary.

When we heard it, listening to TV, we scratched our heads and said has anybody heard of this definition before, because it was something new to us. It wasn't our business to know this stuff, working with the commission's definition, ... Subsequently, when they made their amendment, we searched through their minutes and figured it out, but that was after the fact.

There's no thought into getting a hole-in-one. When I go to a par three my main objective is to get the ball on the green,

I had no premonition. As soon as I hit it, I kind of had a feeling it was going in the hole though. The flight of the ball and the way it bounced when it hit the green. I didn't see it go into the hole as the pin was in the left middle. I wasn't really overly excited. I was surprised.

It's luck but it gives me the confidence that I can do it again. I don't think getting one hole-in-one makes it easier to get another one. It's just something that happens in the natural course of your golfing career,

I think it's the right decision. I wish none of this ever had to happen, but it did.
