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

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.

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.

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

I never learned a thing from a tournament I won.

It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.

Some people think they are concentrating when they're merely worrying.
