Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach either.

Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.

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

The real way to enjoy playing golf is to take pleasure not in the score, but in the execution of strokes.

He [the golfer] must have the courage to keep trying in the face of ill luck or disappointment, and timidity to appreciate and appraise the dangers of each stroke, and to curb the desire to take chances beyond reasonable hope of success.

As I see it, the thing that hurt my putting most when it was bad, was thinking too much about how I was making the stroke and not enough about getting the ball in the hole.

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.
