Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.

Certainly, if you can't manage your game, you can't play tournament golf. You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can't play every hole the same way. I never could.

Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You've got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you're in the boondocks it won't do you any good.

Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.

Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.

If you can't outplay them, outwork them.

I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.

The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.

I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
