Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.

The game is meant to be fun.

Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses.

Nobody - but nobody - has ever become really proficient at golf without practice, without doing a lot of thinking and then hitting a lot of shots. It isn't so much a lack of talent; it's a lack of being able to repeat good shots consistently that frustrates most players. And the only answer to that is practice.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.

Tiger Woods has been unlucky with his body. I don't know whether some of it is self-induced or some of it is just unlucky. But we never know what happens with guys.

Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don't let somebody else dictate your life's path.
