“I can't remember a shot I have ever made that I have been perfectly satisfied with.”

“For this game you need, above all things, to be in a tranquil frame of mind.”

“Rhythm and timing are the two things which we all must have, yet no one knows how to teach them.”

“Many golfers think it is a very good thing to hit the ball a long way, but that is not what is most important.”

“To be a champion, you must have no conscience.”

“Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.”

“The man who can putt is a match for any man.”

“More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than any other cause.”

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it is not the best way to learn to play golf.”

“The secret of golf is to hit the ball hard, straight, and not too often.”
