Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
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.

There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.
There is an old saying: if a man comes home with sand in his cuffs and cockleburs in his pants, don't ask him what he shot.
