My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.

Golf is you against yourself.

I'm deadly serious even when I play tennis against my kids. I want to beat their brains out.

I didn't push any of my kids into golf, and they played golf because they wanted to.

I played in a basketball league until I was 40 years old. I played every Monday night and the guys would say, "You take him out, and you'll see us afterwards."

Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.

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.
