No one ever swung too slowly.

Nobody ever wins the National Open. Somebody loses it.

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

One reason golf is such an exasperating game is that a thing we learned is so easily forgotten, and we find ourselves struggling year after year with faults we had discovered and corrected time and again.

The rewards of golf, and of life too I expect, are worth very little if you don't play the game by the etiquette as well as by the rules.

The main idea in golf as in life, I suppose is to learn to accept what cannot be altered and to keep on doing one's own reasoned and resolute best whether the prospect be bleak or rosy.

Golf is a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.
