I couldn't control Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson or Lee Trevino. The only person I could control was me. The only person I could prepare for events was me. And if I didn't play well, I didn't play well, and I wasn't going to compete.

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

None of my 22 grandchildren have genetics played. Three of my four boys were golf pros, but I think they all sort of said, "You know, I'm not going to push" with their children. I was the same with my kids. I said, "You know, if they want to play golf, that's fine, but I'm not going to push them."

The fact is, I diet every day of my life. I have to work at it. But I diet so I can pig out.

All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.
