I talk to golfers, I talk to my grand kids about their game, and tell them to develop a system, Now, when they're young. And if they develop that system, it will be the crutch they need to be good. To know that system and make it work for you, know what it is and make it work.
Don't be ashamed to play safe.
When I was growing up, they had just found radio.
I'm in love with golf, and I want everybody else to share my love affair.
I think the people I have met have meant a great deal to me, more than any shot I ever hit. I will always remember some golf shots, but others I would like to forget.
My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the fundamentals of the game and helped him make adjustments as he and his game matured over the years.
The game has such a hold on golfers because they compete not only against an opponent, but also against the course, against par, and most surely- against themselves.
Hit it hard, go find it and hit it hard again.
I am so pleased with my golf course. I am to say that it's the best I've ever seen it - without equivocation.
If Tiger Woods slamming his club into the ground is the biggest worry wehave, our sport isinprettygood shape.
I would like to have won more golf tournaments. But I wouldn't sacrifice my life. I've enjoyed it. I'd love to do it again the same way.
I would urge the government to allocate more funds toward fighting cancer. My own situation, it made me think. It made me think about the potential of dying. I wouldn't say I was scared. I'm more scared of how it will happen than of it happening. I'm not scared that I'm going to die. I think of how I'm going to die ... I don't want to linger. That scares me a little. The idea of lingering.
I enjoyed the fans thoroughly, and they were always helpful. They were the reason that I tried so hard over the years.
Golf is a game of inches. The most important are the six inches between your ears.
