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

I give the ball some sweet talk. I tell it that this isn't going to hurt a bit. I'm a friend and all I'm going to do is give it a nice little ride.

I'd say that golf is about 75% mental. If your state of mind gets out of kilter, you're worse off than a tomcat floating on a log.

I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.

Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.

In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

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.
