Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.

My father started on this golf course at Latrobe when he was sixteen years old. He was digging ditches when they were building the golf course.

Frankly, I'm not much for funerals unless it's absolutely an obligation. I don't feel it serves much of a purpose to go and see my friends just lying there, dead. I try to pay my respects to my friends when they're alive.

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

I think the guys are more conscious of the fact that being in good physical condition under the conditions that they play will make them better players.

We just became very good friends [with Dwight Eisenhower], we played golf, we played heart exhibitions. Then his doctor said he should not play golf anymore.

What do I mean by concentration? I mean focusing totally on the business at hand and commanding your body to do exactly what you want it to do.
