I could not wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.

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.

The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.

I don't like the glamour. I just like the game.

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

I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.

Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You've got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you're in the boondocks it won't do you any good.
