No putt is too short to be despised.

There isn't a hole out there [Augusta] that can't be birdied if you just think. But there isn't one that can't be double-bogeyed if you stop thinking.

Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball.

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

I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

I had held a notion that I could make a pretty fair appraisal of the worth of an opponent simply by speaking to him on the first tee and taking a good measuring look into his eyes.
