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 assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case.

The best exercise for golfers is golfing.

A leading difficulty with the average player is that he totally misunderstands what is meant by concentration. He may think he is concentrating hard when he is merely worrying.

Nobody ever swung a club too slowly.

You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank as to praise him for playing by the rules.

Some emotions cannot be endured with a golf club in your hands.
