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

The difference between a sand trap and water hazard is the difference between a car crash and an airplane crash. You have a chance of recovering from a car crash.

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

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

I will tell you privately it's not going to get better, it's going to get worse all the time, but don't fret. Remember, we play the ball where it lies, and now let's not talk about this, ever again.

I get as much fun as the next man from whaling the ball as hard as I can and catching it squarely on the button. But from sad experience I learned not to try this in a round that meant anything.

Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.
