A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.

I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.

Golf is not, and never has been, a fair game.

You're not going to tell me that you're going to find a person who's not a very good athlete and he or she is going to be a great player. But anyone can play the game. That's the nice thing about the game. You don't really have to be a world-class athlete to play the sport [golf] and have fun because of handicap systems.

You can win tournaments when you're mechanical, but golf is a game of emotion and adjustment. If you're not aware of what's happening to your mind and your body when you're playing, you'll never be able to be the very best you can be.

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

Athletes today get into a single-minded, one sport routine. I can't stand it.
