Even in our darkest hour we must remember; never dispair.

To play well you must feel tranquil and at peace. I have never been troubled by nerves in golf because I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than any other cause.

Do not be tempted to invest in a sample of each golfing invention as soon as it makes its appearance. If you do, you will only complicate and spoil your game - and encumber your locker with useless rubbish.

A great deal of unnecessarily bad golf is played in this world.

Moderation is essential in all things, madam, but never in my life have I failed to beat a teetotaller.

If your opponent is playing several shots in vain attempts to extricate himself from a bunker, do not stand near him and audibly count his strokes. It would be justifiable homicide if he wound up his pitiable exhibition by applying his niblick to your head.
