Juli Inkster Quotations

On the back side I hit the ball phenomenal and gave myself a lot of chances. I didn't putt great, but I did what I needed to do.

When I grew up, if you played sports, you weren't in the cool group. Now it's cool for women to be athletes. You look at all the homecoming queens, and they play sports.

She hates playing bad. She went through a time there when she really struggled with her putting and her confidence. But she never lost sight of what she was trying to do.

She reminds me a lot of me at that age. She's got the game. She loves the pressure. And she's a great kid. She's very well-mannered. She is our future.

She's never satisfied. She really believes she can do anything.

I don't think Paula even broke a sweat.

I bet you she makes the cut, ... She'll make the cut. You know what, go for it.

I think it is very tough if you play just one match and a singles,

That was so me. It was something I would have said. She's right. If we don't believe in ourselves, who's going to believe in us?

Yeah, it looks a lot cleaner this year.

We ran into a buzz saw today. Laura played great. Paula and I played good, but we didn't make any putts.

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.

We all know we stink at it, and we don't know why. Sometimes, we try too hard for each other. But these practice rounds have helped.

Deep down, Beth and I know we didn't play our best golf today, ... Half a point, we're not happy with it, but it's better than no points.

They're very energetic. You're loving the feeling out there. Hopefully, by Friday, we'll get the full crowds out there, and we'll hopefully give them something to cheer about.

There's nothing better than winning at home. I can't imagine anything worse than losing at home, and we don't plan on doing that.

I like beating the kids. I like to let them know I'm still around.

I'm 45, but to me its just an age; its just a number. I'm in the best shape I've ever been. I'm hitting it the best I've ever hit it.

If you live in Utah, she could go with the both of you.

In this society, it's 'What have you done for me lately?'

I just want to let them know I'm still around.

Once that momentum slips a little bit, it can go all the way.

I just felt like I still had the desire to work at it and still had the ability to win out here. Even though (the younger players) all think I'm old, I'm only 45 and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. So I'm trying to get back to where I think I should be.

I hit the ball very well. I drove the ball well. I had a lot of opportunities for birdie. I just stayed patient and tried to keep hitting good shots.

I have to say, four years ago I was like, 'Who's going to play?' There was no one out there. I'm quite pleased we have some good young players that can carry on that tradition. Younger players are stepping up. It used to be younger meant you were 25 or 26. Now it's 18 and 19.

He's like a brother to me, and I'll always love him. It's what he wants to do, and I hope it works out for him.

They bring a new sense of energy to our team.

Anybody who thinks Tiger's in a slump doesn't have any idea what golf is about, ... I know what a true slump is. I'd love to be in Tiger's slump. There are probably 140 guys on tour who'd love to be in Tiger's slump.

These girls are young, they're good-looking, they are athletic, they're vibrant and they dress cool.

It's a lot easier to play when you've got an 'a' by your name. She had pressure as an amateur, too. When you have to count everything, it can take a little different feeling.

It just made me feel like I'm headed in the right direction.

It's a little bit frustrating, but there's nothing I can do about it and I don't worry about it, ... I don't look for the spotlight. I'm a mom, you know? I'm pretty boring otherwise. It's just the way I am.

It was something I would have said. She's right: If we don't believe in ourselves, who's going to believe in us? If they took that personally, then they're going to have a long week.

My three keys to success: One, work hard. Two, be your own person. And three, have a passion for what you're doing.

Golf is a stupid game. You tee up this little ball, really this tiny ball. Then you hit it, try to find it, hit it. And the goal is to get it into a little hole placed in a hard spot.

No one has ever conquered this game. One week out there and you are God, next time you are the devil. But it does keep you coming back.

I think competing is more important than winning. There have been a lot of times when I've teed it up and I didn't win but I felt like I competed. I felt like this was not my day, but I never gave up, and I tried on every shot, and then next week I'd go get them.
