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.

Good golf begins with a good grip.

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.

The average golfer's problem is not so much the lack of ability as it is lack of knowledge about what he should be doing

The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.

You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don't make a big deal out of an easy shot.

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.
