I am against making golf courses obsolete, going to the national Open and playing half the holes with a one-iron.

Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.

As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.

Image
Your worst putt will usually be as good as your best chip.

Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.

Here is a philosophy of boldness to take advantage of every tiny opening toward victory.

I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

I have won the Australian, I won the British, all PGA championships, but I haven't won the PGA championship.

I would not have been able to accomplish a lot of what I did professionally had I not learned to fly myself and owned an airplane. For example, I was able to fly to an exhibition for the day and be back home in time for dinner. I never would have been able to do that flying commercially.

In my early days of flying, if you flew on instruments, you were inevitably going to fly in thunderstorms. That was just a part of the business of flying.

I still enjoy what I do. I haven't been playing much golf and none since I dislocated my shoulder, but I come to the office every day.

I stopped playing in the Masters in 2004, I stopped playing in the Par-3 [Contest], and now it's time to end this part of my Masters career. I would love to go on doing it forever, but I don't have the physical capability to hit the shot the way I would want to hit it. So I'll have to be content to watch.

Trouble is bad to get into but fun to get out of. If you're in trouble, eighty percent of the time there's a way out. If you can see the ball, you can probably hit it and if you can hit it, you can move it and if you can move it, you might be able to knock it in the hole. At least it's fun to try.

One thing I've learned over time is, if you hit a golf ball into water, it won't float.

I like the Miami because I could play golf all winter.

Image
I feel more strongly than ever about this. I would like the professional game freed of golf carts. Golf is a physical game. If we are playing competitive professional golf, we should walk. When I can't walk 18 holes, I'll pack it in.

A lot of tournaments that I can remember I made a few bad shots and I was afraid I would lose the tournament and it seemed to work, the putts seemed to go in. Just the Desire.

Hit it hard, go find it and hit it hard again.

I've noticed the sound of the golf ball being hit by the golf club is different, and much more realistic, with the hearing aids. The sound with the hearing aids makes sense, and better represents what I know is happening to the golf ball. So you could say that the hearing aids help give me confidence regarding my golf game.
