Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

It takes hundreds of good golf shots to gain confidence, but only one bad one to lose it.

I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven't killed a fish that I've caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.

I don't play much golf anymore. I can't - if I break 80, I'm doing pretty well.

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 think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.

Through years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
