Here Eddie, hold the flag while I putt out.

The course is playing the players instead of the players playing the course.

Short putts are missed because it is not physically possible to make the little ball travel over uncertain ground for three or four feet with any degree of regularity.

Every golfer can expect to have four bad shots in a round and when you do, just put them out of your mind. This, of course is hard to do when you've had them and you're not even off the first tee.

When I have a match to play, I begin to relax as soon as I wake up. Everything I do, I do slow and easy. That goes for stroking the razor, getting dressed, and eating my breakfast. I'm practically in slow motion. By the time I'm ready to tee off, I'm so used to taking my time that it's impossible to hurry my swing.

My dear, did you ever stop to think what a wonderful bunker you would make?

You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.
