I played with [Dwight Eisenhower] on the day after I won the Masters at his request. We became everlasting friends. I was with him the day before he died at Walter Reed.

Golf never ceases to be a challenge, even when it really is just you and the ball out there and nobody else.

I always said that if I have the perfect club then I should play the perfect game.

I enjoy the press. I understand their business.

In my early days of flying, if you flew on instruments, you were inevitably going to fly in thunderstorms. That was just a part of the business of flying.

I have a tip that can take 5 strokes off anyone's golf game. It's called an eraser.

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.
