I never learned anything from a match that I won.

Golf is the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it.

I will tell you privately it's not going to get better, it's going to get worse all the time, but don't fret. Remember, we play the ball where it lies, and now let's not talk about this, ever again.

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.

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.

The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.

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