Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You've got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you're in the boondocks it won't do you any good.

Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.

Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness

I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.

There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.

I have found the game to be, in all factualness, a universal language wherever I traveled at home or abroad.
