Never try a shot you haven't practised.

A pretty girl will always have the toughest time learning to play golf, because every man wants to give her lessons.

A golfer rarely needs to hit a spectacular shot until the one that preceded it was pretty bad.

Golf tips are like aspirin. One may do you good, but if you swallow the whole bottle you will be lucky to survive.

All seasoned players know, or at least have felt, that when you are playing your best, you are much the same as in a state of meditation. You are free of tension and chatter. You are concentrating on one thing. It is the ideal condition for good golf.

If you play golf, you are my friend.

Be yourself. Play within yourself. Play your own game.

No matter how poorly you play, there is always someone you can beat. No matter how well you play, there is always someone who can beat you.

Go out and have fun. Golf is a game for everyone, not just for the talented few.

Life is full of many minor annoyances, and few matters of real consequence.

Lessons are not to take the place of practice, but to make practice worthwhile.

The woods are full of long drivers.

I learn teaching from teachers. I learn golf from golfers. I learn winning from coaches.

If you play poorly one day, forget it. If you play poorly the next time out, review your fundamentals of grip, stance, aim and ball position. Most mistakes are made before the club is swung. If you play poorly for a third time in a row, go see your professional.
