The real way to enjoy playing golf is to take pleasure not in the score, but in the execution of strokes.

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

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

In golf, the customs and etiquette and decorum are as important as the rules of play.

Addressing a golf ball would seem to be a simple matter; that is, to the uninitiated who cannot appreciate that a golf ball can hold more terrors than a spacious auditorium packed with people.

On the golf course, a man may be the dogged victim of inexorable fate, be struck down by an appalling stroke of tragedy, become the hero of unbelievable melodrama, or the clown in a side-splitting comedy.

Fight tautness whenever it occurs; strive for relaxed muscles throughout.
