Quotes of the Day

The hardest shot in golf is a mashie at 90 yards from the green, where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces on the green and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult I have made it only once.

Your worst putt will usually be as good as your best chip

If your Driver is hot, your Putter will be ice cold; If you can hit your Irons, you will top your Woods; If you are keeping your Right Elbow tucked in, your Head will come up.

Sudden success in golf is like the sudden acquisition of wealth. It is apt to unsettle and deteriorate the character.
