Before every shot, I go to the movies

Any golfer worth his salt has to cross the sea and try to win the British Open.

Don't be too proud to take lessons. I'm not.

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

Pete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960's. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club.

Golf really excites me only when the course is difficult and challenging. I love competing. The pressure of competition against fine holes and fine players makes me feel very much alive.

There's more to be learned here [St. Andrews] about course design than anywhere. Collection bunkers, false fronts, bump shots. The fundamentals of design became fundamental because of what's here. And it happened accidentally. Or maybe accidentally on purpose.
