The most important shot in golf is the next one.

Shoot a lower score than everybody else.

Certainly, if you can't manage your game, you can't play tournament golf. You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can't play every hole the same way. I never could.

I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.

I see no reason that a golf course cannot be played in 18 birdies. Just because no one has ever done that doesn't mean it can't be done.

You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don't make a big deal out of an easy shot.

Why that would be like challenging Bing Crosby to a singing contest,wouldn't it
