If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.

Eight Feet Golf
No one ever swung too slowly.

There isn’t a hole out there [Augusta] that can’t be birdied if you just think. But there isn’t one that can’t be double-bogeyed if you stop thinking.
BOBBY JONES

Golf Holes Thinking
He [the golfer] must have the courage to keep trying in the face of ill luck or disappointment, and timidity to appreciate and appraise the dangers of each stroke, and to curb the desire to take chances beyond reasonable hope of success.
BOBBY JONES

Appreciate Disappointment Golf
Too much ambition is a bad thing to have in a bunker.

Ambition Golf Much Too
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.

The toughest opponent of all is Old Man Par. He’s a patient soul who never shoots a birdie and never incurs a bogey. And if you would travel the long road with him, you must be patient, too.

I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

On the golf course, a man may be the dogged victim of inexorable fate, be struck down by an appalling stroke of tragedy, become the hero of unbelievable melodrama, or the clown in a side-splitting comedy.
BOBBY JONES

Fate Golf Hero
Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.

The ‘enemy’ in golf is tension.
BOBBY JONES

Enemy Golf Tension
As I see it, the thing that hurt my putting most when it was bad, was thinking too much about how I was making the stroke and not enough about getting the ball in the hole.
BOBBY JONES

Balls Hurt Thinking
You are not playing a human adversary; you a playing a game. You are playing old man par.
