It used to be someone's GCA tag line, but I'm not sure who.

Here's how I remember it:

The only thing I learn playing 20 times a year on the PGA tour is how to hit a 60 degree wedge from the rough.

Garland...is that it exactly?  Was it once your tag line?  I just want to get it right.

Guess it's not that famous, after all.

But playing 20 events every year in the US only makes me better at that 60-degree flop out of the rough! As ugly as it is, you get good at it.

From a John Huggan article last April.  Geoff Ogilvy has a lot of great quotes.

It was once my tag line. I see Andrew found it. I guess Geoff has me to thank for making him "famous".
