Look at the better players of my era - Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd. They had pros they worked with from time to time, but out on Tour, thousands of miles from home, each of them learned to be his own best coach. I think Tiger can do the same.

I putt like I did when I was a kid. When you're a kid, you're not scared of anything.
- Impossible

I can't be casual about losing. I always think I have a chance to win until winning is absolutely impossible.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
As my father taught me, and he drove home that point, he said, 'Just remember something. You don't need to tell anybody how good you are. You show them how good you are.' And he drove that home with me. So I learned early not to brag about how good I was or what I could do but let my game take that away and show them that I could play well enough.
- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
I never heard Jack Nicklaus say, 'I'm a great player,' or Tiger Woods, as a matter of fact. They just get out and do it. And I think that's far more appealing... than talking about how good you are.

I'm sorry that I haven't won the PGA Championship. That would be something that would have pleased me very much. I suppose when I look back, I have a lot of reasons and excuses for not having won the PGA.
- Game

- Nov 07, 2020
I've stated my position, and that is we do not need a contraption to play the game of golf. I would hope that we'd play under one set of rules, and those rules would include a ban on the long putter hooked to the body in some way, shape or form.
- Golf

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think that golf has a place for two sets of rules. I think one of the reasons that the game has progressed in the way that it has over the years is the fact that the amateurs and the pros all play the same game, and they play under the same set of rules.

I try to deign golf courses that are individual in character and individual in their own standing.

You must play boldly to win.
- Business

- Nov 07, 2020
What do I mean by concentration? I mean focusing totally on the business at hand and commanding your body to do exactly what you want it to do.

What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

Winning isn't everything, but wanting it is.

Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.
- Mind

- Nov 07, 2020
Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.

I think I've heard somebody say that I was a well-dressed golfer. I guess that has something to do with the fact that a lot of people who play golf don't dress very well.

I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

It is not a dreamlike state, but the somehow insulated state, that a great musician achieves in a great performance. He's aware of where he is and what he's doing, but his mind is on the playing of the instrument with an internal sense of rightness.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not much for sitting around and thinking about the past or talking about the past. What does that accomplish? If I can give young people something to think about, like the future, that's a better use of my time.
- Day

- Nov 07, 2020
Every day I play golf, that's my goal. To break 70 the other way. To shoot 70 or better.

Ever since I bought and started flying an airplane, it's been almost exclusively for business. I love to fly. It's a great joy to me. But rarely do I use it for any kind of pleasure, other than it is a pleasure to fly.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I started flying because I had a fear of it early on. I figured if I learned to fly, I would understand better what was happening and started taking lessons in the late 1950's, once I had made some money on tour.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I quit flying myself last year and that was difficult for me because I enjoy it as much as playing golf. It was an adjustment sitting in the back of the plane, rather than at the controls, but I've grown accustomed to it and enjoy reading a book, doing some work or challenging my wife to a game of dominos.
- Professional

- Nov 07, 2020
Had I not become a professional golfer, I think I would have pursued some type of career in aviation.

My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the fundamentals of the game and helped him make adjustments as he and his game matured over the years.

Everyone I built a course for thinks they have the best golf course in the world and I'm very pleased and proud of that.
- Friends

- Nov 07, 2020
I probably have a club in my hands 360 days a year, one way or another, playing with friends or just fiddling around or hitting balls.
- Lose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you lose the ability to step up and hit the ball as hard and as far as you want, that also affects your ability to will the ball to go where you want it to go, if you know what I mean.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I find myself getting associated with a lot of younger people in the game. I still enjoy playing with them, and I think they still enjoy playing with me. As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My problem happens to be near-sightedness - inability to see distance. And this is pretty tough on a golfer.
- Distance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To me, wearing glasses is no pleasure, but once I conceded that I simply couldn't properly judge distance without them, I began to experiment. I tried glasses and found them uncomfortable. I switched to contact lenses, and they also bothered me.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I can remember back to my early tour days when some fellows didn't think I'd last too long. Nothing physical - they said it was my swing. Some said it was too much of a 'muscle swing' to stand the test of time. One fellow predicted I wouldn't get past 30 out there.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't see myself as a full-time broadcaster. I've done some of it, and I enjoy it, but I don't think I should try to make a career out of it.
- Fly

- Nov 07, 2020
I fly my own airplane, and I have since 1960. I rarely fly anywhere other than my own airplane.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
I was mixing iced tea and lemonade in my kitchen since as long as I can remember. It wasn't until some time in the early 1960s that it became associated with me publicly.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Great touch is often written off simply as 'talent,' which is crucial, because a good swing can take a golfer only so far. I've seen thousands of fantastic swings in my day, but that doesn't guarantee anything.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a firm grip helps you control the club and prevents it from turning in your hands. Another thing about feel is, if you make a change in your grip, it takes time for your brain to adapt.
- Some
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to get tired of drinking iced tea, so I'd ask my wife if we had some lemonade, and I would just dump it right in there.

- Green
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Critics who have said a safer shot here or there would undoubtedly have won me a few more tournaments are probably correct. Going for the green in two was who I was as a boy - and it's who I remain as a man.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
Golf would be my ticket somewhere, I told myself. I just couldn't say where it would lead me.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in poverty on the edge of a golf course. I saw how people lived on the other side of the tracks, the upper crust and the WASPs at the country club. We had chickens and pigs in our yards. We butchered every year. I'll never forget those things.
