Quotes by Mike Weir

• The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on.
• The beauty of golf, you're in charge out here.
• You can be six behind on the back nine and still win the tournament.
• Playing hockey, there were a lot of guys bigger than me, so I knew I was going to get hit and have to deal with it. Gotta hit back.

• I have a lot of offers to play for appearance fees. It's nice gravy, but it's not a big motivating factor for me, to go here and there just for money.

• If I can raise more money for charities, or get more Canadian kids to play golf, the green jacket will mean even more.
• If I thought I had hurt my chances of winning another major just because I was chasing money around, I'd wind up kicking myself.
