You only hit a straight ball by accident. The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other.

Jesus Christ can't hit a golf ball straight. It's virtually impossible - at best it's an accident.

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

I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.

Hitting a golf ball and putting have nothing in common. They're two different games. You work all your life to perfect a repeating swing that will get you to the greens, and then you have to try to do something that is totally unrelated. There shouldn't be any cups, just flag sticks. And then the man who hit the most fairways and greens and got closest to the pins would be the tournament winner.

I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.

When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
