When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.

The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.

What did I want with prestige? The British Open paid the winner $600 in American money. A man would have to be two hundred years old at that rate to retire from golf.

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.

Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.

That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.

Golf tip: Lay off for three weeks and then quit for good.
