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.

I compare the pressure of a golf shot with making an extra point in basketball. The player starts from a full stop, and that rim doesn't move.

A pretty girl will always have the toughest time learning to play golf, because every man wants to give her lessons.

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.

Life is full of many minor annoyances, and few matters of real consequence.

The woods are full of long drivers.

A good putter is a match for anyone. A bad putter is a match for no one.
