All other things being equal, greens break to the west.

Shoot a lower score than everybody else.

The truth is, the first golf club I owned was an old left-handed, wooden-shafted, rib-faced mashie that a fellow gave me, and that's the club I was weaned on. During the mornings we caddies would bang the ball up and down the practice field until the members arrived and it was time to go to work. So I did all that formative practice left-handed. But I'm a natural right-hander.

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?

There's no set time or schedule for developing one's skills as a professional golfer, and it certainly doesn't come overnight. It's a muscle-memory exercise that comes over time.

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

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