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

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.

After you have the basics down it's all mental.

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

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.'

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