The game itself, I think, plays into the strength of my game, which has always been tee to green, hitting the ball consistently in play and managing my game. Putting has always been the one thing that's been a bit more erratic.

10 QUOTES WITH «TEE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word tee.
1
Jason Aldean
My golf score is really bad. I don't know. I'm definitely not a good golfer. Off the tee box, I can drive it about 275, and I'm in the fairway about 99% of the time. It's my next shot that needs work.
2
Jason Bateman
A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.
3
Nelson Cruz
You can watch videos and hit off the tee, stuff like that, but at the same time, it's you against the pitcher. I just need one swing or one pitch to click, and you can find your swing.
4
Genelia D'Souza
At home, a T-shirt and something loose like harem pants would do. If I'm stepping out, a pair of blue jeans and a white tee are just fine.
5
David Duval
But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.'
6
Lance Gross
I put on whatever is comfortable on me. Suit, jeans and tee as long as it's comfortable. It doesn't matter what brand. If it looks good I buy it.
7
Bridget Hall
I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement.
8
Zach Johnson
Elmcrest CC, in Cedar Rapids, is where it all started when I was growing up. The tree-lined course has a very demanding layout that requires you to be accurate off the tee and avoid a number of well-placed water hazards on some of the holes.

Tom Lehman
The game itself, I think, plays into the strength of my game, which has always been tee to green, hitting the ball consistently in play and managing my game. Putting has always been the one thing that's been a bit more erratic.
10
Johan Lindeberg
I have a really simple wardrobe. I wear a low-scoop tee every day with a tux or leather jacket and tux pants or black jeans. That's pretty much it.
