The David Graham File

Chapter:

1. My love of golf was only exceeded by my hatred of school.

2. I worked like a slave, but couldn’t have had a better boss.

3. You’re digging a hole for yourself here, come with me to Sydney.

4. The officials wanted me to give the trophy back.

5. I thought I was a big shot. Really, I didn’t know the first thing about the game.

6. Learning to play golf instead of golf playing me.

7. I’ll win it for you one day, boss.

8. At the apex of his career he was about as convivial as a Trappist monk.

9. Anybody can get lucky and win a major championship once. It takes a great player to win two.

10. Making hay while the sun shines.

11. The Seniors Tour was my saving grace.

12. I cried. I cried absolutely. So did my wife.

13. It was the end of me as a golfer. It was almost the end of me, full stop.

14. How do you put Isao Aoki in before David Graham?
