Having played the Old Course many times since my first visit in 1981, I am now of the opinion it is one of the best and most beautiful tests of links golf anywhere in the world.

Confidence in golf means being able to concentrate on the problem at hand with no outside interference.

I learned how to win by losing and not liking it.

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.

I'd rather fight 100 structure fires than a wildfire. With a structure fire you know where your flames are, but in the woods it can move anywhere; it can come right up behind you.

Sometimes thinking too much can destroy your momentum.

This game is so elusive. You try to maintain the peaks and level up the valleys.
