Golf is like eating peanuts. You can play too much or play too little.

Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.

I had held a notion that I could make a pretty fair appraisal of the worth of an opponent simply by speaking to him on the first tee and taking a good measuring look into his eyes.

The 'enemy' in golf is tension.

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.

Golf is said to be an humbling game, but it is surprising how many people are either not aware of their weaknesses of else reckless of consequences.

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