I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.
Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.
Certainly, if you can't manage your game, you can't play tournament golf. You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can't play every hole the same way. I never could.
Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.
If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.
I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.
You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning so I could hit balls. I'd be at the practice tee at the crack of dawn, hit balls for a few hours, then take a break and get right back to it. And I still thoroughly enjoy it. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply - when anyone is - it's a joy that very few people experience.
You only hit a straight ball by accident. The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other.
I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
Why that would be like challenging Bing Crosby to a singing contest,wouldn't it
