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

Practice your swing until it becomes a habit of mind and muscle.

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.

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.

Forget your opponents; always play against par.

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
