drinking golf breakfast
To quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.
golf two feet
I've gotten rid of the yips four times but they hang in there. You know those two-foot downhill putts with a break? I'd rather see a rattlesnake.
eye golf years
Over the years I've studied the habits of golfers. I know what to look for. Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores.
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?
golf andrew westminster-abbey
The only place that's holier than St. Andrews is Westminster Abbey.
golf nine lasts
If I could have shot 69 in the last round every time, I would have won nine U.S. Opens. Nine!
golf winning player
The fact that Slammin' Sammy couldn't win the Open made it all the more valuable for the players that did win. Gave it a special quality. I'd say a part of the sheen on that trophy comes from my sweat.
thinking untapped-potential ability
You have more potential than you think.
golf eating playing-golf
Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
golf thinking numbers
Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
golf thinking shoes
Golf got complicated when I had to wear shoes and begin thinking about what I was doing.
golf thinking age
I hope I'll never get too old to want to take part in this event, and I don't think I will ever age that much.
swings practice mind
Practice your swing until it becomes a habit of mind and muscle.
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.
