Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.

Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.

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

The only reason I ever played in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.

Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.

Golf course architects make me sick. They can't play themselves, so they rig the courses so nobody else can play either.

But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
