I shot a wild elephant in Africa thirty yards from me, and it didn't hit the ground until it was right at my feet. I wasn't a bit scared. But a four foot putt scares me to death.

The fairways were so narrow you had to walk down them single file.

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

First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.

I hope I'll never get too old to want to take part in this event, and I don't think I will ever age that much.

To be consistently effective, you must put a certain distance between yourself and what happens to you on the golf course. This is not indifference, it's detachment.

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