Though Woods might have used this phrase, it is one dating at least to the early 20th century; the earliest published use thus far located is in "Mr. Lyncargo's Professional, by Frank Savile, in ‪The Badminton Magazine of Sports and Pastimes‬ (1906), p. 498, where a character declares : "Life isn't all golf. There are other duties, sometimes."
