The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.

Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.

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 a game that creates emotions that sometimes cannot be sustained with the club still in one's hand.

Golf is like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.

No-one will ever have golf under his thumb. No round ever will be so good it could not have been better. Perhaps this is why golf is the greatest of games. You are not playing a human adversary; you a playing a game. You are playing old man par.

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