I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.

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

Certainly, if you can't manage your game, you can't play tournament golf. You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can't play every hole the same way. I never could.

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

Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.

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.

Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
