“It hasn't really poured rain here and it's super soft. I know everyone wants to have the course green, but that's not always necessarily the best way to have a course. But hey, it is what it is, you adjust and you play. I've always been more fond of US Open set-ups where you've got to average 65 or 66 or 67 to have a chance.”
Tiger Woods
“Warm summer sun, shine kindly here. Warm southern wind, blow softly here. Green sod above, lie light, lie light. Good night, dear Heart, Good night, good night.”
Mark Twain
“A soft Tongue may strike hard.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Teddy Roosevelt . . . once said, 'Speak softly and carry a big stick.' Jimmy Carter wants to speak loudly and carry a fly swatter.”
Gerald R. Ford
“I was amazed at how soft it was. I know they haven't had a lot of rain, so they put some water on it.”
D.A. Weibring
“If you could have it both ways, you'd want dry fairways and soft greens. But it's set up like a major. It's supposed to test every part of your game.”
Lucas Glover
“It's soft, lush and green -- all the things we don't like here at Oakmont.”
Bob Ford
