The moment the average golfer attempts to play from long grass or a bunker or from a difficult lie of any kind, he becomes a digger instead of a swinger.

Nobody ever swung a club too slowly.

I always like to see a person stand up to a golf ball as though he were perfectly at home in its presence.

Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.

The difference between a sand trap and water hazard is the difference between a car crash and an airplane crash. You have a chance of recovering from a car crash.

If I needed advice from my caddie, he'd be hitting the shots and I'd be carrying the bag.

If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.
