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

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

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.

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.

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

The woods are full of long drivers.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

If you play golf, you are my friend.
