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.

I've gotten rid of the yips four times but they hang in there. You know those two-foot downhill putts with a break? I'd rather see a rattlesnake.

I hope I'll never get too old to want to take part in this event, and I don't think I will ever age that much.

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

Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.

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.

Practice puts brains in your muscles.
