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

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

Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.

What abandoned course is that?

First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.

Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.

That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
