Courses Quotations | Page 4

RYA courses and certificates are renowned throughout the world and indicate that the bearer has been trained and examined to the highest standards,

Scores have declined the last two years, ... We have got to get kids to take the more rigorous courses and raise the bar for them.

Despite impressive gains in the numbers and quality of courses over the past 20 years, entrepreneurship education still lives mostly on the fringes of academe, not in the mainstream. Our aim is to change that so that entrepreneurship is a legitimate, full-fledged field of study. The Kauffman Panel's guidance on the formation of a comprehensive curriculum in entrepreneurship is central to this goal.

Actually in the majors, I feel almost more comfortable, because the courses are set up that much more tougher, where it puts a premium on accuracy, which I think is one of the strongest parts of my game.

Now, I like these changes. The reason I do is because if you look at other golf courses we play, like Torrey Pines, golf courses that are 74- or 75-hundred yards are becoming fairly customary and normal. I don't think you want to play a major championship on a golf course that is not in keeping with other courses we play on tour in terms of length.

Speech and debate are not just a stylistic skill. I so whole heartily believe that kids, by the time they graduate, need to be able to get up in front of a group and say something meaningful. That translates into all courses and all manners of life.

Some drivers have more experience on road courses than others, but as time goes by, it all levels out.

At Xavier I was a biology and pre-med double major, but they handle pre-med differently out here and I am not in the program yet. My classes are totally different. I went from molecular biology and other science courses to English classes like Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages.

Alabama's outdoor destinations are among the best in the U.S.. Travelers know we have many of the best golf courses in the nation, as well as beautiful gardens and great food. This year, we want to persuade visitors in the Southeast and throughout the nation to experience the adventure and beauty of Outdoor Alabama.

They told me that, as a woman, I'd never get into graduate school in physics, so they got me a job as a secretary at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and promised that, if I were a good girl, I would take courses there.

They're still thinking gung-ho winter in February, but March is iffy. In southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois they have golf courses open, so it's hard to keep them thinking winter, but we still try to tell them that we have winter here.

Proposals to forbid golf courses have about the same motivations as proposals to forbid skate boarding, although the rationalizations are different.

Public golf courses don't need a lot of lakes. All everybody does is just lose their golf ball and slow the game down.

Personally I believe that the courses we followed for some years after World War II were enlightened, surprisingly imaginative and extremely effective.

Sometimes it might be just as valuable to stay an extra semester to take some of those skill-based courses or take advantage of that really great internship - experiences that they'll need in the job market.

Other courses there's a lot of rest, you can work hard and rest, work hard and rest. And if you don't have as good a physiology, you can get away with the techniques of speed and power. But this kind of course, the guys who are genetically gifted ...

People's judgments of their capabilities to organize and execute courses of action required to attain designated types of performances.

The reshaping of education through e-learning leads me to observe that international course-taking is on the horizon, ... Imagine students at UCLA taking courses at Oxford, and students in Tokyo learning physics from a professor at Duke.

There's some golf courses that fit my style of play, ... Thank God there's a couple of them left that we play. I can count on one hand how many like those are left.

There was a lot of attention given to continuing the character of the historic Third Ward, and we aligned with certain courses and rhythms in which the structure expressed itself that are reminiscent of things. But it's not a replica of anything, and it's a very contemporary expression of an old idea.

Except for a couple of blips in the middle of my round (at Nos. 9 and 10), my day went well. The golf course is in excellent condition. Certainly, I felt it was an advantage to have played at the Sony last week. I love playing there because it's in Hawaii. I think it's an advantage a little bit just to have an extra week under your belt. But the courses are totally different.

Yet the home courses are where you spend dozens to hundreds of hours a year. You must choose them well.

This track, I love it. I like short-track racing, road courses and flat tracks and this is a combination of all three of those.

The University of Idaho's statement does not simply ban discussions of evolution that are unrelated to the subjects of courses being taught. Nor does it merely forbid religious-based views of evolution from being taught in science classes. The statement offers a blanket prohibition on any 'views that differ from evolution,' no matter how scientific, and no matter how related to the courses under study.

This country is full of great courses, many of which are not promoted, but are superb, ... And, there are quite a few courses under construction. That is a real attraction for visitors, and what adds to the charm of the country.

This is one of the hardest golf courses that we play all year. It's going to be windy again (today). The wind is out of the north and the greens are dried out, there is no moisture, so they are rolling really fast and they're firm.

This is one of the top-five golf courses on the PGA Tour already after just one practice round,

This is one of those golf courses that suits my eye I guess you could say. I'm hitting the ball as good as I've hit it in awhile. I'm hitting my irons shots as good as ever and today something clicked with the putter.

This is absolutely true links golf and Nick is one of the finest links players who ever lived. I've played a lot of links courses and have a good knowledge of it but not the understanding of a guy like him. Using links land is different than anywhere else. His expertise is absolutely invaluable in a situation like this.

Young adults enrolled in universities and colleges or other postsecondary training should avail themselves of the opportunity to take institute of religion courses or, if attending a Church school, should take at least one religion course every term.

Young people in Israel are encouraged to design, produce and sell their products from high school. Technical universities also matter. Teach and introduce entrepreneurship courses in technical universities.

This is definitely a young man's course. That's where we are with the game right now. We're lengthening courses all over the globe.

In Microsoft's defense, I don't think that in a certification training environment you can teach the in-depth subject of security, ... Should there be more security? Absolutely. Is there any time that can be thrown out of the current courses and devoted to security? No.

In 1960, I enrolled in the chemical engineering program at UNAM, as this was then the closest way to become a physical chemist, taking math-oriented courses not available to chemistry majors.

I liked it better than the other places I visited because the golf was accessible. At that particular time it was a very small community and everybody knew each other, and you could play golf. I worked for Sea Pines and I played those courses more than anybody.

I've fallen in love with the course, and the environment. I've never been a fan of TPC courses, so it's nice to play old-school courses like this one that are laid out right in front of you. It's not one of the hardest, but it's fair and you know you have to go low.

I've got to figure it out, how to get it done on the weekend. I know the courses are going to be harder, so I need to play better.

I'm talking about O.J. Simpson. As he prowls the nation's golf courses searching for the real murderers of his ex-wife, let us not forget that it was the Simpson saga that taught TV news directors an important lesson: a Big Story can generate big numbers and big profits.

I'm just really tired of it. I really am. I wish something would happen, but I think the damage has been done and to go backwards from here is almost impossible. I don't want to sound like a crybaby because I have had a great career. But I still think there should be courses that guys with my style of play can still play pretty well. With the longer hitters, now hitting fairways is irrelevant. That was a prerequisite for 100 years -- drive it in the fairway or you are in trouble. That doesn't count anymore. So that's sad.

I'm open-minded with stuff like that, actually, because I was probably one of the first guys who took some relaxation courses in Venezuela in 1974. I even got hypnotized in '78. I was having trouble concentrating. . . . So, no, I'm very open to a lot of stuff.

I like the course, I love the way it's set out. It reminds me a lot of courses that I grew up on in South Africa. I've got a good feel for the place.

I love this Open, I love Scotland and this is one of my favorite courses in the world,

I love this place. It's one of the few courses that makes you think off the tee. Angles have a lot to do with it. Guys who like to hit driver everywhere are going to have trouble.

If you don't embrace the consensus, your career stops in its tracks. I had a woman call me from the literature department at Harvard. She said no one can speak out because if you do, you don't get the courses you want, the hours you want, you don't get graduate assistants. It's pathetic. It's authoritarian, a regime of terror. Anyone opposed has either left the university or is totally underground.

If you look at the university system today, USF has an average SAT entry of 1,120 to 1,150 with goals to increase that. Students are expected to come to school often with some of their initial courses already done.

If you had never seen this golf course and didn't know what course you were playing, you would think, OK, this is fine. But if you see this from the perspective that Augusta is one of the most familiar courses in the world, you would look at the changes and say, 'Wow, this is going to make a big difference'.

So far as we can tell, people are still flocking to courses to quit smoking because, as we have more restrictions on smoking, there is more demand. Nicotine patches and gum help to make them more effective, more successful, but they do not work by themselves.

I'm not sure. I don't think there's enough to say it's a home-course advantage because we really all play the same courses week in and week out. I don't think there's much here except the crowd is going to be a bit more in favor of the U.S.

I'm excited to be host to both teams for the PGA Cup, and after having played both the courses at the K Club, I do feel I know something about what the players will face, ... It's too bad the weather has turned colder. A week ago, temperatures were in the 70s. But, you got to expect the rapid changes in Ireland.

The basic rationale is that performing arts courses are more expensive to teach and support. The classes are smaller, so there is more faculty.

The benefits of technology training extend far beyond the individual who attends the courses at the centers -- they improve the social and economic opportunities of entire families, businesses and communities. These grants support the hard work of our local partners to provide the tools and training to foster true economic empowerment in all types of communities, from small, rural villages to urban areas in developed regions.

Students need to take more college preparatory courses in high school, and schools need to begin forcing their students to have a more rigorous senior year, instead of having a 'blow-off' year.

It's tough dealing with senior courses so they make decisions as a team.

This is just such a great win for me and the Target team because we knew we had the car for this track which is very difficult and also rewarding when you put a good lap together. ... We had to have good fuel strategy and we knew this track was all about momentum. It's good to come back to the road courses and win once again. This one win makes this very difficult season so much better.

It?s not a bomber?s paradise. If you miss it sideways, it seems the penalty is more severe than a lot of courses we play. You can miss it by a yard or 20 yards on some courses and might have to wedge out. If you miss it by 20 yards here, you have to re-tee.

Dario is certainly going to be very, very strong on the road courses as Tony will. I've certainly got three teammates that are going to feature strongly. I think certainly with my experience level right now on the road courses, which is somewhat limited, I'm going to have to rely on them for some help.

It's probably one of the best courses we play all year.

It's unfair to those kids who don't get to take those good courses and don't get the chance to go to college,

The issues involved are sufficiently important that courses are now moving out of the philosophy departments and into mainstream computer science. And they affect everyone. Many of the students attracted to these courses are not technology majors, and many of the topics we discuss relate to ethical challenges that transcend the computer world.

It's wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.

It's described as an online experience. To us it means it can be integrated into any number of courses and experiences. It gives us the flexibility we need.

It's different and it's fun because we don't get a chance to play these courses very often,

They can begin planning. If they know they will be transferring eventually, they can look at the required courses and back into the ones that will transfer. There's no guesswork.

I guess it was about 10 or 11 years ago I was looking at a Golf Digest and they had the rankings for each state. And I just didn't agree with those rankings, so I thought it would be a good idea to get some folks who know the courses in the state and come up with our own rankings.

I guess you could say I was kind of a nerd in high school, so I was in the upper division math courses - I embrace my inner nerd.

In writing-intensive courses in the humanities, which tend to be smaller, many instructors require rough drafts or make students rewrite essays that earn lower than a C-. Final grades in those courses may tend to be slightly higher than in larger lecture-type courses, ... That doesn't mean that the grade is inflated, just that the instructor had more time to devote to working with the student.

I really do think it will change for the better. First and foremost, it truly is a community problem. It's about academics. Athletics fall in the shadows when it comes to the boundaries. Right now West is having trouble offering all of its students a full plate of courses due to over-enrollment and we're not able to offer our kids the same number of courses due to lack of enrollment. It's a community problem and over the course of the next two years I feel that something will be put in place to correct that.

If you see a GPA, what it may tell you most is what courses a person chose and when they went to school as opposed to how they did.

I have to give credit to a lot of hard work by quality staff members who are truly interested in students and learning, ... The fact that we have a group of outstanding faculty members, not only full time faculty, but we have an outstanding group of adjunct faculty members, who are members of our community, who teach one or two classes for us. Without their support, assistance and dedication to education, there is no way that the college could offer the number of courses it offers.

In view of the situation in Iraq, I was on the phone talking to the company and they are willing to provide in the order of 7-10,000 treatment courses and we are trying to ship them as soon as possible to the ground.

But I loved the theatre and I was just doing theatre 24/7 and kept dropping courses because I didn't have the time and the chancellor thought that wasn't a good idea after awhile.

The pathology is to want control, not that you ever get it, because of course you never do.

He's taken all the weighted courses because that's his goal: the highest GPA. He's a pretty motivated individual.

Of course, every job I ever had I thought I was born for.

I play the county courses every Wednesday, rain or shine. I play all winter at courses, including some private ones, but that can get expensive. That's one of the reasons it's so nice to have them open again. It's a blessing, really. I look forward to it all winter.

I play trumpet. And I took all the music courses in college, so I can also play the string instruments, keyboard, the brass and woodwinds - but only well enough to teach them. If you put a violin in front of me, you wouldn't say, 'My God, that guy can play.' It'd probably sound more like Jack Benny.

Of course, mothers were very conventional, everything was very conventional. You had to have approval.

George W. Bush and his father, President Bush, play what they call polo golf, cart golf, electric golf -- there are lots of different names for it, but basically it's blindingly fast play, ... They don't wait or dawdle between shots. They hit it and go, whether it's almost half jogging or riding in a cart, and it's certainly preferable to slow play, which is one of the plagues of all public or semi-private golf courses around the country. Golfers will know what I mean when I say that.

In dealing with a girl or a horse, one lets nature take its course

It was a pretty grueling course. It was long as far as the courses we've been racing go at 25 miles total for three laps. Plus, there was a lot of steep climbing,

It just sounds like it's going to be a great track. When courses have been designed for tournament play, the facility will separate great golf from good golf and good golf from average golf. It sound like a course that will punish you if you're not on.

It's definitely been a great learning experience. This is about as hard as some of the courses are going to get. It's really nice to get to compete against the professionals ... not only watching them but trying to be competitive with them. They really push you to do the best. By the time I am really ready, I will already have the experience of being here.

It's changed considerably what it means to parent in the 21st century. They are making very important decision in their lives -- applying to colleges, choosing courses and making friends. They really want to be with their parents.

It was nothing to go out and shoot 63. The courses were OK but pretty short. It was a major putting contest. Going low is a mindset, and you had to go low every time out, so that gave me a mindset to build on.

It is always wise with a course of action to consider the likely consequences before going ahead with it.

Free people will set the course of history.

Hang Mortmain," said Will. "And I mean that literally, of course, but also figuratively.

But you love her.” Will stared at him. “Of course I do,” he said finally. “I had come to think I would never love anyone, but I love her.

And of course you wouldn't be going alone,' Will said impatiently. 'I would go with you. I wouldn't let anything happen to you.

Of course it's all luck.

Advice is a dangerous gift, even to the wise from the wise, and all courses may run ill.

After you complete the courses you receive a certificate of achievement and have the ability to educate and teach about what you learned. I've taught all the girls who work for me the basics of the tea plant, how it's processed and how it's brewed. They also have to try every kind of tea we sell.

Sometimes, in our thinking about higher education, we're too narrowly confined to a utilitarian calculus about what it's doing to the bottom line of UK plc. I wanted to make the point that higher education adds immeasurably to the value of the UK economy without necessarily obliging everybody to pursue courses that have some immediate vocational application. I wanted to stick up for medieval history, among other things, which was deprecated by Charles Clarke.

The bottom line is that the faculty will approve all of these courses that are included in this index. It will have to be revisited annually. If people want to add courses, we'll have an opportunity for institutions to revise their syllabi and their courses so that they're more in line.

All we want is to have great courses that get better and better that golfers enjoy playing on. Of course, the benefit there is they come back, and it feeds on itself. More and more rounds make the courses more profitable.

The courses are totally different. You can score on this course if the winds are low. It was perfect out there today. You saw that with all the low scores. I had a pretty commercial 63. It's a good way to start the year.

The courses in Japan are not as tough as here, they're not as long as they are in the United States. She should have a very good chance of making the cut over there.

The courses I took were very rigorous and demanding, teaching me how to draw from real life. I started to get bored with that mode of expression as I found it to be too repetitive. I was looking to push myself to do something different and abstract art seemed to be the perfect outlet for that.

The courses were awesome today. They ran a little longer this year than last, and we were all happy about that. It's a lot of fun.
