Nicklaus plays a kind of golf with which I am not familiar.

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

It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.

Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case.

I have never felt so lonely as on a golf course in the midst of a championship with thousands of people around, especially when things began to go wrong and the crowds started wandering away.

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

You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
