I dreamed one night that I had 17 holes-in-one and one two, and when I woke up I was so goddam mad.

If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?

I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.

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.

If we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest golfer who ever lived.

The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.

Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
