Retirement isn't so bad. Give me a tall drink, a plush sofa and a rerun of 'Matlock,' and you can have the rest. Matlock is my hero. He never loses.

My father taught me that the easiest thing to do was to quit. He'd say, 'It doesn't take any talent to do that.'

The only times you touch the ball with your hand are when you tee it up and when you pick it out of the cup. The hell with television towers and cables and burrowing animals and the thousand and one things that are referred to as 'not part of the golf course'. If you hit the ball off the fairway, you play it from there.

Victory is everything. You can spend the money but you can never spend the memories.

I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.

The greatest gift in life is to be remembered.

When my father spoke, it was to say something meaningful.
