I never learned a thing from a tournament I won.

If ever I needed an eight foot putt, and everything I owned depended on it, I would want Arnold Palmer to putt for me.

The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
Bobby Jones
Image
He [the golfer] must have the courage to keep trying in the face of ill luck or disappointment, and timidity to appreciate and appraise the dangers of each stroke, and to curb the desire to take chances beyond reasonable hope of success.
Bobby Jones

Bobby Jones
Image

Golf is said to be an humbling game, but it is surprising how many people are either not aware of their weaknesses of else reckless of consequences.
Bobby Jones
Image
No putt is too short to be despised.
Bobby Jones
Image
Golf is assuredly a mystifying game. It would seem that if a person has hit a golf ball correctly a thousand times, he should be able to duplicate the performance at will. But such is certainly not the case.
Bobby Jones
Image
I had held a notion that I could make a pretty fair appraisal of the worth of an opponent simply by speaking to him on the first tee and taking a good measuring look into his eyes.
Bobby Jones
Image
The moment the average golfer attempts to play from long grass or a bunker or from a difficult lie of any kind, he becomes a digger instead of a swinger.
Bobby Jones
Image
Golf is the one game I know which becomes more and more difficult the longer one plays it.

The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.

Jack Nicklaus is playing an entirely different game, and one which I'm not even familiar with.
