Scott Medlock's portrait of 'the shot heard around the world' from the 1935 Masters is still being celebrated as a moment in Golf History. Imagine that!

Even when times were good, I realized that my earning power as a golf professional depended on too many ifs and putts.

Ben Hogan is the most merciless of all the modern golfers.

Oakmont possesses all the charm of a sock to the head.

My caddie 'Stovepipe' tried to talk me into hitting a 3-wood. But I took out the turf rider (4-wood) instead. The moment I hit it, I felt something in my bones. Walter Hagen was playing with me and Bobby Jones was on the green. 21 people were behind the green. The sun was going down. I wasn't sure it had gone in the hole until I saw all 21 people jumping up and down.

The life of a professional golfer is precarious at best. Win, and they carry you to the clubhouse on their shoulders. Lose, and you pay the caddies in the dark.

I have been able to hope for the best, expect the worst, and take what comes along. If there has been one fundamental reason for my success, this is it.
