    Why do people play golf? What do you think the main attraction is? What does it do for you? Well, if you play golf, you can't think honestly or do anything else when you're playing. I think it's the most revealing game. I don't know if it's a game. It's something other than a game. I couldn't define it. But it's obsessive and revealing and a very healthy balancing factor, I think. Certainly is for me. And also it's one of the few games in the world that's really still got dignity as a game. It certainly has class. Yeah, no question. Do you ever lose your temper? Well, of course. What do you do? Do you throw the golf balls or do you throw the golf club? No, I'm better than I was. I slice a lot, so I have problems after about nine holes. and if I'm still slicing, I get tired and I get irritated. Well, you've got to find a way to close the face of the club. Yes, I know. Well, but it's endless, and as Jack Nicklaus says, it's an unfair game, and you have to accept it. It's like the life in that way. Also, it's also a game that you can cheat at. It's the easiest game in the world to cheat at. As we learned in Goldfinger, I guess. Well, the only one that suffers is you, because you know and you can't unknow.
