I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

I never learned anything from a match that I won.

Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball.

If I needed advice from my caddie, he'd be hitting the shots and I'd be carrying the bag.

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

You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank as to praise him for playing by the rules.

Bobby JonesConsidered objectively, it is quite obviously a very simple matter to propel a ball with a stick across some specially prepared ground and into a hole which is of sufficient size to accomodate it by a good margin. Simple that is, provided there is no limit upon the time or the number of strokes required.
