Tour Quotations | Page 6

We're talking to the tour now to find out our options. A lot depends on who has tour membership. But we know the foreign contingent will be a lot bigger.

We're thrilled to be going back out on the road together. But we're especially excited to be sharing this tour with our fans in San Antonio, who haven't had the opportunity to see us perform together before.

I started by bringing up the retirement issue in a player meeting. Then I brought it up in a telephone conversation with the plan administrator. Then I had a personal sit-down meeting with a tour liaison. Then I called two policy board directors. Then I went to my state senator, John McCain. Then I flew to Washington DC and spent a month all over Capitol Hill, where I got two meetings with the Senate finance committee's tax counsel.

The Sunday after (the hurricane) I took Ann Curry (of NBC's 'Today' show) for a tour of the town, and we passed by Charlotte High School. I was fine, but it wasn't until Monday afternoon that I took a few minutes by myself (at the school). It was tough, and that's when it hit me.

The students take a tour of the library; there's a children's computer lab where youngsters can play educational games, too.

The signs and brochures were done to increase public awareness of the paintings and make for an interesting tour around the library. We think it's a way to help people understand some of Lancaster's founders and leaders.

The sport is still growing and there's only upside for female fighters. The examples of the LPGA, the women's tennis tour and the WNBA indicate that the time is right for women in the sports world. Female boxers don't have the benefit of a tie-in with the male sport like the tennis tour, which plays at the same major tournament venues as the men, and certainly not like the WNBA, which is directly subsidized by the NBA. But, there's no question in my mind, this is the time for women in the ring.

The tables will be turned in six months, when I'll be on a tour bus supporting her.

These matches in the Latin American Tour have always given me luck. But I still need to take one more step.

These new agreements represent a huge step forward for The Golf Channel, and offer fans of PGA TOUR golf a consistent and quality home for a very significant amount of programming. The Golf Channel has had a great first 10 years, and this dynamic new long-term relationship will take it to the next level in the years to come. We look forward with significant enthusiasm to our expanded PGA TOUR partnership.

The States was almost like college for me - I got away from home and learned how to do things for myself. I had a base at Sea Island in Georgia and I decided to have a crack at the US Tour school.

With something educational and entertaining on offer for adults and kids alike, the Amgen Tour of California Lifestyle Festival presented by Health Net, is a cornerstone of the race. Each day, the festival gives us an opportunity to have a positive and lasting impact on the cities that have opened their roads to this race.

What Kim has accomplished over the past year to become No. 1 again is truly remarkable. With the incredible depth in today's game, reaching the top of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour rankings is an incredible feat.

What Lance has accomplished is so much bigger than just the Tour de France. That's only part of it.

The players and their wives were coming out raving about the place. You can't pay for that kind of advertising. They really wanted to put La Costa on the map and having a PGA Tour event, at the time it was potent stuff. It put them on the map quicker.

When we tour the songs, they tend to get more and more expansive, and actually evolve over time until they are something quite different.

We welcome Regions to the Champions Tour family of title sponsors. For 14 years, Birmingham has been one of the premier stops on the Champions Tour. With the commitment and support of Regions, the tournament will continue to be one of Alabama's most popular sporting events, not to mention one of its most charitable endeavors.

We love Vermont and we love the support its communities have given us. We wanted to design a tour that covered the state geographically, but more importantly, made stops in some of our favorite towns.

We've just gotten so lucky. Like Gretchen saying she would help. She's going to do our show on Sunday night. On Monday, she goes to Dallas to open her first national tour as a headliner. That she would do this, donate her time, is incredible.

We've got these young Americans that are going to keep this tour going for a long time, and they have energy and personality. They're good with people, and they do stuff for the LPGA, and they promote the LPGA, and that's what keeps an organization going and growing.

Anna Campbell and I have already done a history tour of parts of the U.K., and it would be fun to invite my fellow Word Wench Cara Elliott along, too!

I've played with Kathy Whitworth and Paula Creamer, so my career has spanned some good golf. I think I can speak for the veterans and say we feel good about where our tour is and where it's going to go. I'm glad it's in the hands of these girls.

The woman's tour is very tough for all of the players.

The way he won this year... everything pretty much under control and he never showed any weakness. He has another Tour in his legs yet.

The WTA Tour and the ATP and the ITF and everyone that's in this whole tennis world needs to come together because I think each and every one of them is trying to make a business in their own little shell. In order to make this game bigger and better, I definitely think they need to come together.

The very first concert I ever went to was a Green Day concert when I was 12 years old, at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ont., and I remember right after seeing them perform I started a band, and I wanted to get up in front of people and start performing. Ten years later, to be on the Green Day 'American Idiot' tour is really awesome.

It would suck for me to just be in the studio. We definitely want to tour, but two of us are married so its hard to tour just for the sake of touring. We want our music to heard. We want our songs to be known and for now we're playing locally trying to make that happen.

It would be easy to get caught up with the defeats to India in the one-day series, but when you look back on the tour as a whole it is far from being all doom and gloom.

The ride experience changes from this sort of scenic tour to this sort of fast-paced drop backwards.

It was very good out there today. I hit the ball nicely and I just tried to concentrate on hitting the ball well today and not getting ahead of myself, which I tend to do, so I was very happy with my round. It is the first time I have played a European Tour event which is not co-sanctioned with another tour so I am enjoying it very much. It is a big event with a lot of good players so I am just trying to absorb it all.

It was very important to me because half the tour is in Europe, ... I'm excited and it gives me confidence to know that I can win here. This is the first time I've had success in the European season. Other times I've kind of made my rankings just on the U.S. season and maybe down in Australia a little bit.

It was a little cutter, 163 yards from a difficult lie, a bit of a hook lie, and it happened to come off perfectly, ... I hit a lot of really good iron shots like that this week. I had a lot of confidence in my ball striking, with the driver and with the irons, and was able to maneuver the ball very well. The HX Tour Golf Ball is just so consistent in its flight characteristics, it let me get at some of the tough pins when I needed to, and I was rolling it well when I had the opportunities.

What happened was going to happen. You can't win a grand tour without a strong team. I was the best rider and with a stronger team the victory wouldn't have slipped out of my hands. But my team came here with few expectations. After winning one stage, we already fulfilled them.

We were on tour so we couldn't make it. But we saw the movie in Tucson with a regular audience during its opening weekend. By the time we left the theater, there were like 500 kids standing outside and asking for autographs, so we had our own little mini-premiere.

We've proven that we can go out on tour and play a hits package for years to come. But we don't want to become an oldies act, not that there's anything wrong with it. We've still got the desire to write and record new music, too.

We feel like we've earned our way into a summer date. We've been saying to the Tour since we got the tournament in the first place we wanted to move it to the summer. We took a tournament that was nomadic and close to nonexistence and turned it into a quality, first-class event.

Visiting the tour center has been especially rewarding for me and my staff. The visit provided practical information on how to better address the diverse needs of our client families. There has been a growing desire on the part of families to add personal touches to funerals. This exhibit has helped me understand how to do this to create more meaningful funerals.

We're disappointed he's injured, we don't want to see him out of the tour because he brings a lot to the tour, he's a world class player,

We all agree in principle it is a viable proposal. The only problem is that Pakistan is hosting Zimbabwe from late September and we are still not sure if their tour will go ahead on schedule.

We all believe there's more to come from the Scotland team and this season should be a start that we have to build on beginning with our game against the Barbarians at the end of May and then the tour of South Africa.

The reason I'm in this play and taking a tour and the box office is doing very well is that I'm well-known, and that's thanks to television.

Tom and I had a few discussions and got an agreement signed. Flowe and the staff at Burningtree have been excellent to work with in preparing for the tournament. They are really wanting this to be first class. The tour has always wanted to play the Burningtree course.

We'll have to see what the tour pitches to Chrysler and then we'll see where we stand,

Well, how cool is that? You're sitting here with two guys playing in a playoff, one guy has just stoned it. He's nervous. I know he's nervous -- he's never won a Tour event -- and he hits a shot and it hits the pin. The crowd went bananas. I mean, how could you not like that.

We've got a bunch of new songs: 'Ashes and Cinders,' 'Queer Pressure,' 'Cut Your Tongue Out,' those were just ones I've written in the past few days. All we need now is some days off to get into a studio, ... We had four days off like a month ago, and normally you'd want to just sit around in a bed and do nothing, 'cause you've been on tour for months, but by the second day we were getting bored, and we went back into the studio and started working on a real Motown-sounding album. We always just sort of go into the studio and press 'record' and see what happens.

We're sure to get good weather. There will be no conflict with the NFL as there is now. The kids won't be back at school, which has always impacted our volunteers. We're in the heart of the PGA Tour season, rather than at the end as we are now. And the players will be earning Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup and FedEx Cup points.

There is still plenty of time to get back into it, but I am making it harder for myself than I need to. There is a good chance if the leader is a guy who hasn't won before, especially if it is an Asian player chasing a European Tour exemption, it might put enough pressure on him to stop him pushing on and getting to a score I cannot reach.

The original Grand Tour would generally begin in Belgium or the Netherlands before moving through Paris, Geneva, Spain, Italy, and perhaps Greece.

We've had a really good tour and a really good year. We have been going at it gangbusters. I guess I did it a little backwards, but I was really committed to being a mother and a wife, and I think people do kind of respect that my priorities were in the right place. I am still juggling that, and it is hard, but I have a great husband who is just awesome, and that helps.

Breakaway from Cancer is an integral, complementary component of the Amgen Tour of California, and it benefits cancer patients across the country. Amgen was proud to host the Breakaway from Cancer charity ride in our headquarters city and join members of the community to raise additional funds to help empower people with cancer so they can live well with the disease.

This one definitely ranks up there. I've been on tour six years and this is my fifth title - it's not like it happens everyday.

We have enjoyed every minute of the tour so far -- when you are in this part of the world you have to adapt very quickly.

We have enjoyed every minute of the tour so far - when you are in this part of the world you have to adapt very quickly.

Born after sunset, dead by daybreak, his 11-hour scrap of existence was little more than a shuttle down fluorescent hallways, a tour of wards and laboratories.

We do not know this tour operator. We've never dealt with this tour operator before.

We do not need to visit the stadium to assess the security measures. Last time we inspected the ground and its surroundings and I hope the security will remain the same for the upcoming Indian cricket team's tour to Peshawar.

Even if you don't agree with it 100 percent, you've got to support it. If it's going to help our tour that much, it will be good for everybody.

We went on a tour and met the assistant coach and I really liked her.

We are very excited about the WORLD POKER TOUR leaping from the small screen to the big screen. 'Deal' will bring our enormously popular show on the Travel Channel to an even greater audience and we hope that it continues to fuel the explosion of poker worldwide.

We are very excited to announce this partnership and to align the event with such a favorable brand as Ford. The synergies with the communities are already very strong, and we look forward to unveiling our promotional programs that will excite people about the Tour and the Ford brand.

We did an exhaustive tour of all the possible facilities in the Oklahoma City region, and the Sawyer Center is a fantastic facility that exceeds all of the criteria that we had.

The most important responsibility of an LPGA Tour member is the ability to compete at the highest level of women's professional golf, and that includes the ability to earn a living playing golf, ... Your application does not satisfactorily demonstrate to me that you can compete at the highest level of women's professional golf at this time, and it is primarily for this reason that I must deny your application.

After I talked to EMI, I talked to Ralph and then asked Moe to talk to the other band members. The idea was if they're going to get together to record these songs, they might as well go do some shows, so we're planning a national tour for December, and will hit most of the major cities. All of that is in the planning stages.

The thing that stands out most about the 2006 Champions Tour schedule is its strength and continuity of our sponsorships. Within the last two years, many of our title sponsors have signed multi-year tournament extensions. As a result, the Champions Tour enjoys a very strong underpinning, with some contracts extending as far out as 2010. Our sponsors are committed to this Tour, and the Tour and its players are committed to them in return.

I wanted to do a tour where people would look at something else beside architecture.

Reaction to the tour so far has been brilliant and we're looking forward to putting a great show together for the fans and getting back out on the road to play the new materiel live.

After the England tour we believe that visiting teams should no longer have apprehensions about playing in Karachi or any other venue.

Films are tricky because for years you're getting told you're about to make it and you're about to be busy for four or six months or you're about to be on tour for press. But these things tend not to happen, and meanwhile you've said 'no' to many things 'cause you thought you were going to be busy, for years, for years this happens.

With the conclusion of the FedEx Cup competition at The Tour Championship the week September 10-16, we felt that the competitors could use an extra week to rest and be fully prepared for The Presidents Cup.

Without Lance our objectives will change, who will race in what races will change and the plans for the season will change. But we still have a very strong team without him. If you look at our 2005 season and take out what Lance accomplished, basically his Tour victory, this team had an amazing season. It was a season that any team would sign up for before it started.

Without question, La Costa is one of the top 10, or even the top five of the non-major venues. Of the regular tour stops, it's the most recognizable venue of the last 40 years.

Two of my friends who are pros on the tour put me on the pro doubles association calendar and asked if I wanted to have a tournament, so I said yes.

Unfortunately, due to my category or status I only can play 10 events in America unless, of course I join the US Tour and then I can play whatever I want to play.

So you kind of know that anytime we want, we could do a tour without even an album to promote, which is kind of reassuring, cos that's what most people are coming to see - just us doing the old classics.

So, then, after college I did a children's theater tour for six months, but then I came out here. Just to try to do the whole Second City thing.

despite this positive news, Kerry continues his misery tour and furthers his efforts to talk down the growing economy.

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.

So the results on the Lions tour were pleasing for me, but the thing I liked were the Lions supporters. I think New Zealand learned a lot from the way they behaved. I hope they did,

So we decided we'd basically go on tour twice and play the same places.

Definitely, to me it is anyway, ... As a kid you always dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour and dreamed about winning. This is the best tour in the world, and this would be a dream come true.

During my tour of the gulf states, people felt not only were they abandoned, but that there was a deliberate attempt to destroy them. Even here on Long Island, the quality of education in some schools is pitiful.

I've likened some of them to traveling musicians, in that some of them might be based in metropolitan centers and they go out and travel -- they tour the bush.

Athletes that can generate the most watts of energy over time will win the race. In cycling at Tom's level, you can no longer just be a time trial specialist or a hill climber and expect to win a stage race like the Tour de France. You've got to be able to perform well in all aspects of the race.

Back in I want to say 2011, Taylor Swift was on her 'Speak Now' tour. She was kind enough to bring me out as one of the openers on that tour. Between her and Miranda Lambert, who also helped me out that year, I got a pretty non-typical first tour as a fellow artist.

Barcelona has committed to do a three-game tour of the U.S., playing in, I believe the correct order is, Los Angeles, Houston and New York. We just got the confirmation earlier this week.

Zach Lund is one of the most talented pilots on tour right now, no question. That's why he's successful. That's what people need to realize. It's got nothing to do with him using something to help male-pattern baldness.

That's what this tour is, a celebration of our 25 years. We concentrate on the hits, the first time we've done that on tour. We have to drop some of them (for time), but that's a great position to be in. It's like a football coach who has a team where everyone is fit and ready to play.

That tour we did in early '97, we did like 4 continents in 3 weeks. We were so jet lagged that it all canceled out. I am like an entire day behind.

That's when she's going to have to start winning tournaments to have the interest continue. I certainly feel she will be a big-time winner on the women's side. I'm not sure what she'll do if she ever gets on the men's tour full time. If she were 23 right now, and not 15, she would actually be worth less. She's a novelty because of her age.

A major rugby tour by the British Isles to New Zealand is a cross between a medieval crusade and a prep school outing.

A lot of tour operators told us that they didn't think the show would work in their town, not the bigger cities, but the smaller places. They even suggested that we rewrite and tone down the sex. So when we were offered the chance to come to Vegas, we looked at the numbers and the opportunity. (Wynn) wanted to build a brand-new theater for us, for our show. Steve Wynn is a visionary -- it's God's little joke, I guess.

Also, there's nobody on the tour today who could hit the ball as well as Lee Trevino or Ben Hogan.

A lot of artists feel it's not worth it to sign with a major label, because if you don't have a giganto hit, then you're not going to get a video made. You're not going to probably get much tour support. You're not going to get promotion. You're certainly not going to get a publicist who's going to pay much attention to you.

(Almost) everybody is of age, ... When the Scream Tour started we were 14 or 15. Bow (Wow) was, like, 13. It's become a really mature, young adult tour.

They stood out well during the tour where it was an opportunity to see what they were capable of but we're also looking at all other options for the past few weeks.

Psychologically, it was a difficult moment for me. I don't like riding in the peloton in the chasing peloton. That's not my game, ... But I held on, mainly out of respect for my team. I have not given up doing well in the Tour one day. But on the evidence of things, I have to begin questioning certain things. We will analyze all that this winter.

. Probably the biggest omission though is the Beatles tour 1964! Undoubtedly there are many more....

Producers work in a highly competitive business where the slightest advantage, tool or technique can land you thousands of dollars of business. Attending one of our tour stops is a great opportunity for users to see how they can give themselves a competitive advantage that will take their businesses to the next level.

Producing a game that encompasses such originality and innovation has been an incredible experience and we are very excited to unveil Getting Up. This tour is our way to celebrate its launch and say thanks to all of our supporters.

Sometimes, sport is just plain pleasing to the eye, like watching La Belle France flit by on television during the Tour de France. I can do that for hours.
