Nobody ever swung a club too slowly.

No one ever swung too slowly.

I never learned anything from a match that I won.

Addressing a golf ball would seem to be a simple matter; that is, to the uninitiated who cannot appreciate that a golf ball can hold more terrors than a spacious auditorium packed with people.

No putt is too short to be despised.

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.

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