Putting isn't golf, greens should be treated almost the same as water hazards: you land on them, then add two strokes to your score.

Only fools live in the past or carry envy to the present.

The sweetest two words are 'next time.' The sourest word is 'if.'

If you buy a book on golf instruction buy the thinnest book you can find. The thinner the book, chances are the easier and more elementary the instruction. It can do one of two things: help you more or hurt you less. Both are good compared to the alternative.

I don't exaggerate - I just remember big.

I'm getting so old, I don't even buy green bananas anymore.

After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye.
