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.

As I see it, the thing that hurt my putting most when it was bad, was thinking too much about how I was making the stroke and not enough about getting the ball in the hole.

The difference between a sand trap and water hazard is the difference between a car crash and an airplane crash. You have a chance of recovering from a car crash.

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

Well, I'm glad we don't have to play in the shade.

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.

No putt is too short to be despised.
