Dana Quigley Quotations

When I was 14, there wasn't anybody who had a two-handicap. And certainly, nobody had a swing coach or private instructions or anything like that. But it's good. That's the future.

Shoot, I couldn't even stand there. The ball was up around my waist ... . I don't practice that shot very often.

Shoot, I couldn't even stand there, ... The ball was up around my waist ... . I don't practice that shot very often.

I was supposed to have an MRI, but the doctor said it isn't a bone problem, it is a muscle problem. It wasn't as sore as I expected, so maybe something good is happening.

I would have sold out for a birdie in a heartbeat. It's not important to lead the first day. I don't think it would have made much difference if I didn't make it.

I have been changing my diet on my own. I haven't had any salt in the last month, and I cut out caffeine. I only eat meat about once every two weeks. I cut out the kind of stuff that gave my father a heart attack when he was 56.

I taught her everything she knows, ... She played with me last year, and look what's happened. I hope I have the same impact on Tim as I did Paula.

It always feels good on the golf course,

I think they are all amazed. Although they would never tell Hale that. But Hale is the guy that raised the bar to where you can still play when you're 60 years old. This guy is unbelievable.

My putter failed me, but I probably failed my putter, ... I think I got a little flat after the bogey on 16.

I won the first tournament this year, came in second in the next, and I don't have any of the 14 clubs I used in those tournaments. There's always something better. Always. I come here every day and, honestly, it's like Christmas. Like, what new thing can I have?

I tell my son every time I'm out on the golf course, I learn something. That's what makes you want to show up every day. You're not going through the motions. You're trying to figure something out. I really feel like I'm still improving. If you can't improve your golf swing you can improve the way you think about it and the way you attack golf courses. It's always a learning process. I don't think it ever ends.

It'd be a great feeling to give it away.

Man I'm telling you, I am still shaking like a leaf. I had a pit bull for a partner and I knew if I just got him in a spot where he could do his magic, it would happen and he did it again.

I'm in a little bit more precarious spot than I was last week, ... I guess I've got a bull's-eye on me now. Right now, I'm not confident with my ball striking, but one good round can change that.

Winners capitalize and losers shake their heads and wait for next week,

This round was what I neeed. Everything clicked. ... I needed some luck with good play and I got some breaks. The eagle at 16 was key.

You hit one shot and it might be two or three holes before you hit another one. Raymond really didn't have a putt on that back nine until he had the putt to win all the money on 17. It's a little different thing. It's a very tough format to hold your patience and the patience to keep going. And Raymond aspired to that.

When a guy shoots 64 in front of you, it's pretty tough. All in all, it was a great year. I played my heart out all year, so I have nothing to be ashamed of.

It would mean a lot to me to win the money title. That's pretty important to me, but with the Schwab points tripled next week, it's all coming down to the final week.

There was no wind and that helped. The fairways were soft.

This is the week for the big boys to stand up, and for the little boys to sit down. I hope I'm standing at the end.

It's just not my turn yet, I think I've got a lot more years ahead of me,

It should be a good shootout tomorrow, ... The conditions were good today. The greens were really soft, which plays into my game. I'll see how the greens are holding up the first few holes (Sunday), and go from there.

It was like when you've just gotten off a boat, like on a cruise ship or something, and you have that light feeling under your feet.

I've got a great mindset for this course. I hit driver an awful lot here. It's worked before. I told myself all week I was going to get good breaks. I want to tidy up everything before the Schwab Cup.

Not a bad guy to lose to. He's supposed to be a superstar out here.

Once the competition starts and once the ball is in the air, I'll be as tough as any of them out there. The intimidation factor is only prior to the event. You get out there inside the ropes and I'll be just fine.

I'm glad to be in the Schwab Cup lead, but its all going to come down to next week. I've held the lead for 19 weeks. I've already pledged the money to charity. I want to do the same thing as (Allen) Doyle.

I'm definitely saddened by the fact that it's still not going. It's something I was always very proud of. I'm going to try and chase that Quigley guy who has the record now. If I can stay healthy, I still love playing golf as much as I ever did. I can't see taking any weeks off because I don't want to play golf.

I kept telling myself to be patient. It's a four-day event. It's a major and some of the guys are going to burn and disintegrate before the fourth day.

I'm actually waiting for Raymond to tell me where he wants me and what time he wants me there. I'm going to let him do all the decision making. He's the one who has the pedigree here.

I'm probably lucky he found the other stuff.

I'm very proud of the streak, so I'll be very disappointed if I have to break it.

If you hang in there long enough, something good will happen because this is his format. Raymond's a very easy guy to play with as a partner. He's the icon of the skins game.

I played really solid, no fives on the card. It's good to be near the lead, but I don't get too excited with first-round scores. You've got to be up there to have a chance, so it's nice to be in the mix.

I really didn't have it today. I knew someone was going to jump out and do something, I was just hoping that it would be me those final few holes.

I just stuffed a lot of shots close that normally would run 10-15 feet past the pin, ... I get a lot more confident when I know that ball is gonna stop.

But I'm not really sure I've arrived yet, ... I think I'll always have the mentality of the club pro. I'll always carry that banner.

I don't know if I'll ever be accepted, ... I just want my game to be respected.
