I was playing cowboys and Indians in the trees, and then I started hitting the golf club with clubs father sawed off for me, and I began playing right here with my father.

I played high school golf, I played amateur golf and I started getting officers. I was playing pretty good, won amateur tournaments as a junior, and the whole thing.

All the things that I have derived either directly or indirectly through the game of golf are things I owe a great deal to the game and to the people who support the game.

Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.

I received many years of good advice from my father - how to live, how to play, how to be a gentleman.

First time I met Jack [Nicholas ] I had heard about his golf and prowess - I was playing in the Ohio amateur.

I enjoyed the fans thoroughly, and they were always helpful. They were the reason that I tried so hard over the years.
