Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
The three things I fear most in golf are lightning, Ben Hogan and a downhill putt.
A bad putter is like a bad apple in a barrel. First, it turns your chipping game sour. Then it begins to eat into your irons and finally it just cleans the head off your driver.
Practice puts brains in your muscles.
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
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.
