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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Golf has probably kept more people sane than psychiatrists have.

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.
