May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
Shoot a lower score than everybody else.
Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
I don't like the glamour. I just like the game.
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
I have always felt and said that a man who can be a champion in one era could be a champion in any other era because he has what it takes to reach the top.
The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.
