The only reason I ever played in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.

The fairways were so narrow you had to walk down them single file.

Just have a Coke or something and watch the boys go past.

Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.

Golf is played with the arms.
golf play balls
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
golf swings mind
When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.
golf lightning golf-course
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.

That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
golf player
I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.

I've been on some fairways that are as good as the greens we putted on back then. We had crab grass. I remember one green where I putted through ants.
