I always had the opinion as a player that if Johnny Miller or Ken Venturi or Dave Marr said something that I didn't agree with, I felt they always had credibility because they had at least been there and done it,Lanny Wadkins
I hadn't thought too much about it because I thought I was going to have a long career on the Champions Tour, ... I take the way I feel, or felt, on the golf course and try to compare it with the way some people are playing now, and give reasons for what's going on. I'm always pretty quick with a comment. That's just me.

Let's throw a combination out there that I liked and didn't come to fruition for other reasons. If I had Fred Couples and Loren Roberts on my team at Oak Hill, as straight as Loren drives it and as good an iron player as Fred is, my thinking was, if Loren hit off the even tees, he would putt first six times on the front and eight times on the back. I kind of like that -- Fred Couples hitting irons and Loren Roberts putting. That's a helluva combination.

I didn't think there was a better short-game teacher than Dick. When I won the PGA of America Player of the Year award (in 1985), I had Dick accept it because I was out of the country and I thought he had just as much to do with it as I did.
