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.

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.

When I ask you what club to use, look the other way and don't answer.

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.

If I could have shot 69 in the last round every time, I would have won nine U.S. Opens. Nine!

The fairways were so narrow you had to walk down them single file.

The three things I fear most in golf are lightning, Ben Hogan and a downhill putt.
