Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.

I never learned anything from a match that I won.

Golf is the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it.

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

There isn't a hole out there [Augusta] that can't be birdied if you just think. But there isn't one that can't be double-bogeyed if you stop thinking.

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