A good golf course makes you want to play so badly that you hardly have the time to change your shoes.

I do not think I could go on living unless I felt that one day I might win the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Day One Thinking Winning
But, if you miss (the supposedly easy pin) by just a little bit, you’re looking at the next putt from 30 feet. The ball just rolls away.

Hitting a shorter club to these greens means a great, great deal. Younger players are so much more capable length-wise.

I’m going to leave y’all with one thought. I’m a big believer in fate. I have a good feeling about this.

Fate Feelings Good
It’s emotional for every champion who decides to step down, it’s a tough decision. It’s probably easier for some, like me. But I’m just going to try to take it in stride. It’s part of life.

This is happening all over the world. It’s not just this golf course. Hopefully, if it stays dry, it will let a few more people in (contention). If it gets wet, though, there’s only a few people where it’s attainable.

I enjoy Augusta. I enjoy its challenges. There’s no other golf course like this anywhere. Its greens and its challenges on and around the greens are just super, super tough. So the greens are fun to play in sort of a morbid way

If we are to preserve the integrity of golf as left to us by our forefathers, it is up to all of us to carry on the true spirit of the game.

Golf is the hardest game in the world. There is no way you can ever get it. Just when you think you do, the game jumps up and puts you in your place.

As a golfer, you feel like you’re perpetually on the rack [in foursomes]. Mentally, it’s very difficult.

Golfers Like Racks You
You learn to accept defeat graciously in golf. Unlike other sports, the game itself is a constant opponent. It never stops. A golfer is fortunate to win a few times. We spend our whole lives trying to conquer something, and we lose a lot more than we win.

The areas off the greens are masterpieces. I don’t think there’s anything like it in North America.

I was horrified. Absolutely heart sick. All I could think of was that after 23 years together, I’d lost my faithful ally. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t get the loss out of my mind. It was like discovering that someone in my family had died.

I don’t have any big secret about putting. Just hit at it. It’s either going to miss or go in.

The reason the Road Hole at St. Andrews is the most difficult par 4 in the world is that it was designed as a par 6.

I know most players do, but I always keep both eyes opened. I still do it. I see two shafts, the real one and the transparent one. I look for what’s on the inside edge of the transparent one

I have felt terribly from the beginning when I saw the problems and recognized that they would be ongoing. We were hired to put back the contours of the greens as closely as possible to George Thomas’s designs and were real proud of what we did. It’s a sad situation now.
