You hear stories about me beating my brains out practising, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I’m hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it’s a joy that very few people experience.

I see no reason that a golf course cannot be played in 18 birdies. Just because no one has ever done that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You’ve got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you’re in the boondocks it won’t do you any good.

People have always been telling me what I can’t do. I guess I have wanted to show them. That’s been one of my driving forces all my life.

You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can’t play every hole the same way. I never could.

Accept Aim Continually Same Try Way
Every day that you don’t practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness

Day Greatness One Practice
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don’t you?

I dreamed one night that I had 17 holes-in-one and one two, and when I woke up I was so goddam mad.

I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It’s like a rattlesnake in your pocket.

There’s no set time or schedule for developing one’s skills as a professional golfer, and it certainly doesn’t come overnight. It’s a muscle-memory exercise that comes over time.

Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.

May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
