My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William & Mary in 1961. The pay wasn't much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn't even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments.

In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life - or at least the way life should be.

You can pay people to perform, but you can't pay people to excel.

Give your players something they can physically do - don't ask them to do something they can't do.

Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.

The only people who aren't going to be criticized are those who do absolutely nothing

Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.
