golf fishing firsts
The only reason I ever played in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.
believe golf winning
I believe in destiny...what's going to be is going to be. If I'm going to win, I'm going to win...I don't give a damn what the other guy shoots. I'm going to win if it's my turn.
golf thinking mind
First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.
golf past boys
Just have a Coke or something and watch the boys go past.
golf swings mind
When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.
golf nine lasts
If I could have shot 69 in the last round every time, I would have won nine U.S. Opens. Nine!
games iron apples
A bad putter is like a bad apple in a barrel. First, it turns your chipping game sour. Then it begins to eat into your irons and finally it just cleans the head off your driver.
mistake white littles
That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
golf lightning golf-course
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
golf eating playing-golf
Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
swings practice mind
Practice your swing until it becomes a habit of mind and muscle.
golf thinking numbers
Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
golf andrew westminster-abbey
The only place that's holier than St. Andrews is Westminster Abbey.
jesus mean golf
But, no, I don't feel my career has not been fulfilled because I didn't win the US Open. It's like the guy said: You going to crucify a man because he missed a putt to win a tournament? Does a three-foot putt mean his whole life? Another guy said, well, he couldn't win the big one. Well, Jesus, what do you call those others? What's big and what's small?
