A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.
Golf and women are a lot alike. You know you are not going to wind up with anything but grief, but you can't resist the impulse.
I am tired of all these golfers who are happy with second place. The only one who will like you if you come in second place is your wife and your dog. And that is only if you have a good wife and a good dog.
There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
Every golfer can expect to have four bad shots in a round and when you do, just put them out of your mind. This, of course is hard to do when you've had them and you're not even off the first tee.
You don't have the game you played last year or last week. You only have today's game. It may be far from your best, but that's all you've got. Harden your heart and make the best of it.
If you ever feel sorry for somebody on a golf course, you better go home. If you don't kill them, they'll kill you.
I like to play snooker, golf as well.
The golfer has more enemies than any other athlete. He has fourteen clubs in his bag, all of them different; 18 holoes to play, all of them different, every week; and all around him is sand, trees, grass, water, wind and 143 other players. In addition, the game is 50 percent mental, so his biggest enemy is himself.
Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.
The older I get, the better I was.
Golf is like an 18-year-old girl with big boobs. You know it's wrong but you can't keep away from her.
Learning to play golf is like learning to play the violin. It's not only difficult to do, it's very painful to everyone around you.
The difference between golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie.
I've not given up hope the belly-putter will be banned. The R and A and the USGA are looking at it right now.
Golf is a game that needlessly prolongs the lives of some of our most useless citizens.
Discipline and concentration are a matter of being interested.
Don't let the bad shots get to you. Don't let yourself become angry. The true scramblers are thick-skinned. And they always beat the whiners.
John certainly gives it a good hit, doesn't he? My Sunday best is a Wednesday afternoon compared to him.
Obviously a deer on the fairway has seen you tee off before and knows that the safest place to be when you play is right down the middle.
Ask yourself how many shots you would have saved if you always developed a strategy before you hit, always played within your capabilities, never lost you temper, and never got down on yourself.
A tap-in is a putt that is short enough to be missed one-handed.
While playing golf today, I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake.
It is always disillusioning to weigh your fish and measure your golf drives. Smart men estimate them.
Golf is the only-est sport. You're completely alone with every conceivable opportunity to defeat yourself. Golf brings out your assets and liabilities as a person. The longer you play, the more certain you are that a man's performance is the outward manifestation of who, in his heart, he really thinks he is.
