We'll have first-aid golf carts outfitted so you can lay people on a stretcher, just like we had at the old stadium.

I'm trying not to speculate. A lot of people are speculating wildly about what happened and then in an e-mail you find out it's wrong.

A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport, ... Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in. But they don't know Francis' story, which is why the movie was made in the first place: To bring back this amazing tale so that people could be educated about how interesting it was. When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course. Francis was a caddy. He grew up across the street from the course, looked up to Harry Vardon (played by Stephen Dillane in the film), this five-time British Open champion — but he was never allowed to play.

We're not out there hitting people and tackling people, but walking 36 holes on this golf course is not easy. I think it's just as important to physically stay strong as it is mentally.

I tell people it's like playing golf in the middle of the Super Bowl.

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
