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

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.

All of us have an 'inner clock,' a certain pace at which we function most comfortably and effectively.

I had a terrible stammering problem when I was young, and as a result I spent a lot of time alone.

You can't make good scores happen. You've got to let it happen.

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.'

My father always said excuses are the crutches for the untalented.
