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?

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

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

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.

Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.

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.

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