Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.

In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.

I believe in destiny...what's going to be is going to be. If I'm going to win, I'm going to win...I don't give a damn what the other guy shoots. I'm going to win if it's my turn.

Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.

Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.

When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.
