On how well he can play with Parkinson's disease:"I've been so lucky to be celebrated for what I do and really kind of humbled about that. It's great to do something where I really suck. My best score for 18 holes is 46 out and 46 in, and I'm a 22-handicap. My friend Clark Gregg, from the "Avengers" movies, has a great description of me teeing off: He says I look like I'm between two subway cars with a foot on each platform. Then he says, 'And you hit the ball 220 yards, and I don't know how you do it.'"
Morgan Freeman
On playing golf with one hand:"I was a in a horrendous car accident four years ago. I don't know what happened, whether I passed out, went to sleep or what. The upshot is a paralyzed left hand. I literally can't use it. . . I don't seem to be any worse than I was with two hands. I can't hit it 240 or 260 yards like some of these guys, but I enjoy trying. "
President Bill Clinton
On the health benefits of golf:"If you walk a hilly course on a windy day and you play all 18 holes, you won't say golf isn't a sport and golfers aren't athletes. I'm convinced one of the reasons my stepfather lived to 89 and lived as well as he did was because he played a lot of golf."
Michael Phelps
On his occasional displays of frustration on the course:"Oh yeah, I've thrown clubs. I launched my 7-iron and managed to get it stuck in a tree. All my buddies were laughing because they know how competitive I am. They love torturing me in the only sport I can't beat them."
