You don't think anything about age when you're playing [golf]. I mean, why would you ever think about that.
I'm deadly serious even when I play tennis against my kids. I want to beat their brains out.
It's a great sense of accomplishment when you can take something and really think it's really tough, and then all of a sudden you conquer it. That makes you feel pretty good.
Temper is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.
I think that Pebble Beach is my favorite golf course to go to. I think Augusta is my favorite place to go play golf.
I can barely turn on my computer!
I would never deny that Jack Nicklaus is the greatest player who ever lived.
He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I've ever seen.
This is a game. That's all it is. It's not a war.
The holes are numbered.
If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
Over the first three rounds you're playing the course. In the final round, if you're in contention, you're playing the man.
Jones is the greatest golfer who ever lived and probably ever will live. That's my goal. Bobby Jones. It's the only goal.
I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole, I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.
