“Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.”

I look like I have beriberi and scurvy.

I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put the desire in me.

I don’t drink water, haven’t drank water in 40 years.

Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.

But when you are significant is when you help other people be successful. That lasts many a lifetime.

Don’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.

In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely.

No one has ever drowned in sweat.

It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.

Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.

I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.

An agent won’t help you get drafted higher, won’t make you win more games, and won’t make you faster or stronger.

I’m no genius.
