Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.

I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.

There is an old saying: if a man comes home with sand in his cuffs and cockleburs in his pants, don't ask him what he shot.

You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.

These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.

The fact that Slammin' Sammy couldn't win the Open made it all the more valuable for the players that did win. Gave it a special quality. I'd say a part of the sheen on that trophy comes from my sweat.

Make the basic shot-making decision early, clearly and firmly, and then ritualize all the necessary acts of preparation.
