But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.

Over the years I've studied the habits of golfers. I know what to look for. Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores.

But, no, I don't feel my career has not been fulfilled because I didn't win the US Open. It's like the guy said: You going to crucify a man because he missed a putt to win a tournament? Does a three-foot putt mean his whole life? Another guy said, well, he couldn't win the big one. Well, Jesus, what do you call those others? What's big and what's small?

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.

To quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.

Golf got complicated when I had to wear shoes and begin thinking about what I was doing.

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
