Looking up is the biggest alibi ever invented to explain a terrible shot. By the time you look up, you've already made the mistake.

Make a game out of practice, you're still a child at heart

All seasoned players know, or at least have felt, that when you are playing your best, you are much the same as in a state of meditation. You are free of tension and chatter. You are concentrating on one thing. It is the ideal condition for good golf.

No matter how poorly you play, there is always someone you can beat. No matter how well you play, there is always someone who can beat you.

I don't care how good you play, you can find somebody who can beat you, and I don't care how bad you play, you can find somebody you can beat.

Golf has probably kept more people sane than psychiatrists have.

In golf your strengths and weaknesses will always be there. If you could improve your weaknesses, you would improve your game. The irony is that people prefer to practice their strengths.
