Your name is the most important thing you own. Don't ever do anything to disgrace or cheapen it.
Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.
There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness
The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
Hitting a golf ball and putting have nothing in common. They're two different games. You work all your life to perfect a repeating swing that will get you to the greens, and then you have to try to do something that is totally unrelated. There shouldn't be any cups, just flag sticks. And then the man who hit the most fairways and greens and got closest to the pins would be the tournament winner.
Shoot a lower score than everybody else.
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
I don't like the glamour. I just like the game.
If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.
