Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course

Too much ambition is a bad thing to have in a bunker.

Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.

The moment the average golfer attempts to play from long grass or a bunker or from a difficult lie of any kind, he becomes a digger instead of a swinger.

Nobody ever wins the National Open. Somebody loses it.

The real way to enjoy playing golf is to take pleasure not in the score, but in the execution of strokes.

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