Golf got complicated when I had to wear shoes and begin thinking about what I was doing.

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

I've been on some fairways that are as good as the greens we putted on back then. We had crab grass. I remember one green where I putted through ants.

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

But, no, I don't feel my career has not been fulfilled because I didn't win the US Open. It's like the guy said: You going to crucify a man because he missed a putt to win a tournament? Does a three-foot putt mean his whole life? Another guy said, well, he couldn't win the big one. Well, Jesus, what do you call those others? What's big and what's small?

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

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.
