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.

There are two great rules of life: never tell everything at once.

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.

I couldn't say my own name when I was 12.

My father was a man of few words.

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

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