For years I did take my time, but that was because I hated waiting to hit shots - I adopted a pace where I didn't have to stand by my ball and wait.

I was born in 1929, that was the depression, so the golf course was manned by my father and two guys, they worked for my dad and they took me with them everywhere they went. And it was fun.

Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.

If the athlete is fair with the press, he deserves fairness back.

The fans, I loved them. My mother would be in the gallery, I would look right at my mother and not remember.

As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.

I think today's athletes generally are spoiled by what's happened to salaries, but I also think that golfers have maintained the best demeanor of any sport.
