The first time I played golf was in Flushing Meadows, Queens, when I was about 16 or 17. They had an 18-hole pitch-and-putt. My buddies and I would hop the fence and sneak on and play.

Sometimes when you play a golf course for the first time, you just got to be committed to your targets.

The first time I ever played the trumpet in public, I played the Marine Hymn. I sounded terrible.

Kids used to get their sticks caught in there all the time. Now they feel safe and can play with more confidence. You can send the puck up along the boards and it doesn't jet back out like it did before.

Whenever I walk off the golf course, I thank God that I'm able to tell a joke. I thank God I'm good at something.

They put a pretty good whooping on us the first time we played them. So we'd like to return the favor.
