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.

If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.

Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach either.

One reason golf is such an exasperating game is that a thing we learned is so easily forgotten, and we find ourselves struggling year after year with faults we had discovered and corrected time and again.

It is nevertheless a game of considerable passion, either of the explosive type, or that which burns inwardly and sears the soul.
