“I just had my eightieth birthday, so this was sort of like a good challenge to come up and see how I could do.
“I’ve been hitting some balls lately. So we’ll see how we do.”
Andy Garcia added: “Whenever you play golf, you’re trying to golf the ball the best way you can and challenge yourself. Every shot is a challenge.
“And that’s the beauty of the game. I’m not competing against anybody other than the golf course, in a way. And myself.
Musician Huey Lewis said: “I think it’s my seventeenth year, but who’s counting?
“It’s always a great time, honestly. It’s just a fun week. It’s a week we look forward to all year.”
Tico Torres, renowned drummer of Bon Jovi, said: “It’s spiritual, it’s an unbelievable place.
“The history here and all the great, great, great golfers have gone through here.
