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.

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

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

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

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

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

Never try a shot you haven't practised.

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

If you play golf, you are my friend.

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

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.
