Hitting a golf ball and putting have nothing in common. They're two different games. You work all your life to perfect a repeating swing that will get you to the greens, and then you have to try to do something that is totally unrelated. There shouldn't be any cups, just flag sticks. And then the man who hit the most fairways and greens and got closest to the pins would be the tournament winner.
Your name is the most important thing you own. Don't ever do anything to disgrace or cheapen it.
The most important shot in golf is the next one.
Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness
All other things being equal, greens break to the west.
If we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest golfer who ever lived.
A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill.
I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.
If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.
The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.
