I hate whenever there’s a social issue that comes up in golf and people in the mainstream media who hate golf and who’ve conjured up all these stereotypes of people who are in the sport, the way they tear it down… I resent it, and I’ll defend golf and people in golf until my dying day.

Since 1934 every accomplished player in golf has come to the Augusta National looking for an introduction into history. Jim Nantz Read Quote

From 1975-’79, I worked for PGA professional Tony Bruno. For five years I watched, lost in admiration, as Tony ran the golf shop at Battleground Country Club in Manalapan, N.J. Tony put in 80-hour weeks doing what nearly 29,000 men and women club pros do every day: Keeping the game alive with a smile. Jim Nantz Read Quote
The sentimentality that people see and hear in my commentary and sometimes ridicule, parody or just don’t like – that’s okay. We’re all wired differently. I think about that a lot. I can’t explain it. That’s just what runs through my blood. It’s just the way I look at the world. Jim Nantz Read Quote
