I could not wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.
I have really enjoyed every minute I have spent in golf- above all, the many wonderful friends I have made. I have loved playing the game and practicing it. Whether my schedule for the following day called for a tournament round or merely a trip to the practice tee, the prospect that there was going to be golf in it made me feel privileged and extremely happy, and I couldn't wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again
You hear stories about me beating my brains out practising, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it's a joy that very few people experience.
I couldn't wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
Why Don't you aim more to the right?
I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
You only hit a straight ball by accident. The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other.
People have always been telling me what I can't do. I guess I have wanted to show them. That's been one of my driving forces all my life.
I liked to win, but more than anything, I loved to play the way I wanted to play
Why that would be like challenging Bing Crosby to a singing contest,wouldn't it
The average golfer's problem is not so much the lack of ability as it is lack of knowledge about what he should be doing
I dreamed one night that I had 17 holes-in-one and one two, and when I woke up I was so goddam mad.
