Why waste good shots in practice when you might need them in a match?

There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.

I would rather be of clear mind and decision with the wrong club than with an unclear mind and the right club.

Which one of you is going to be runner-up?

It takes six years to make a golfer: three to learn the game, then another three to unlearn all you have learned in the first three years. You might be a golfer when you arrive at that stage, but more likely you are just starting.

I never played a perfect 18 holes. There is no such thing. I expect to make at least seven mistakes a round. Therefore, when I make a bad shot, I don't worry about it. It is just one of the seven.

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