I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well. Fred Couples
I can say I won a Senior British Open at Turnberry. I think that's the best thing about it, the whole week, was playing this course. It's a challenging, very tough course, under extreme weather. But you know, it's nice to win any event. Fred Couples
I'm pretty much a self-taught player. My swing hasn't changed a whole lot, I don't think. But I watch a lot of people. Fred Couples
My mom was so people-friendly. She was incredible. She'd go to the mall, and she'd talk to everyone. Give people a kiss on the cheek. I think if I wasn't pushed around a lot, I'd be great with people. Maybe I still can be. Fred Couples
I used to break a lot of clubs. I probably was a little different than your average junior player. I did have a lot longer hair and a lot more brown hair. But my demeanor, you know, really from maybe my second, third year on Tour, has gotten a lot more even keel. Fred Couples
I could go away five or six weeks in a row and never touch a club. I would just look at them and say, 'I just don't want to; it's not that important.' And it wasn't that important. Golf - I don't want to answer loosely - I pay a lot of attention to it, but I don't ever really think about it. Fred Couples
Golf is a game to me. Other players work extremely hard all year long. I work hard before Augusta. I know I get good results when I practice, but it also wears me out. It literally wore me out even when I was in my 20s. Fred Couples
Golf is supposed to be fun, but I don't think anything is fun if you're not doing it reasonably well. Fred Couples
I was the official wedding photographer at one of my best friends' weddings. Fortunately she was one of the most easygoing brides ever, so she made it easy for me. Natalie Coughlin
When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident. Natalie Coughlin
I was tempted my junior year to go out of college and forgo my eligibility. I had broken several world records. I did have a lot of people telling me that I should go pro. Natalie Coughlin
There's just something about that cold rush that I know I hate and a lot of other swimmers hate. Natalie Coughlin
I don't have any superstitions, but what I always travel with is my pillow and my coffee. Natalie Coughlin
You see a lot of us lingering around. We'll just stand there on the edge of the pool and kinda psych ourselves up into getting in. Natalie Coughlin
