No matter what happens - never give up a hole....In tossing in your cards after a bad beginning you also undermine your whole game, because to quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.

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

Practice puts brains in your muscles.

The fact that Slammin' Sammy couldn't win the Open made it all the more valuable for the players that did win. Gave it a special quality. I'd say a part of the sheen on that trophy comes from my sweat.

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

Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.

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