Such is putting! 2% technique, 98% inspiration or confidence or touch...the only thing great putters have in common is touch and that is the critical ingredient...none of them found it through mechanizing a stroke, nor do I believe they could maintain it that way.

You get the kids today into the sport, and then they can't get to the "next level." I mean, come on, that's a bunch of junk.

There is no room in your mind for negative thoughts.

There are interesting times. The game is more fun when you are experimenting. One day yuor great, the next day scatterlog. But your learning. No that's not right. I probably have forgotten more about golf than I will ever learn. What you do is remember some of the things you thought you would never forget.

I love the golf courses because it brought the best out of me. It made me prepare, made me work at it, made me do the things I needed to do to be better, and that's what I loved about USGA events. If you couldn't handle it, then you got beat, and that's OK.

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.

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