You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning so I could hit balls. I'd be at the practice tee at the crack of dawn, hit balls for a few hours, then take a break and get right back to it. And I still thoroughly enjoy it. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply - when anyone is - it's a joy that very few people experience.

The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.

If you can't outplay them, outwork them.

Your name is the most important thing you own. Don't ever do anything to disgrace or cheapen it.

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

Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.

Golf was my life. I didn't want to give it up. So I went to work!
