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

I have always felt and said that a man who can be a champion in one era could be a champion in any other era because he has what it takes to reach the top.

If you can't outplay them, outwork them.

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.

Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.

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

Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.
