Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.

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.

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

Golf is said to be an humbling game, but it is surprising how many people are either not aware of their weaknesses of else reckless of consequences.

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

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.

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.
