All of my life I have always had the urge to do things better than anybody else.

The more you practice, the better. But in any case, practice more than you play.

I don't see any point in playing the game if you don't win, do you?

It's even harder to stay at the top in sports than it is to get there.

I expect to play golf until I am 90-even longer if anybody figures out a way to swing a club from a rocking chair.

Study the rules so that you won't beat yourself by not knowing something.

I can beat any two players in this tournament by myself. If I need any help, I'll let you know.

It's not just enough to swing at the ball. You've got to loosen your girdle and really let the ball have it.

Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.

That little white ball won't move until you hit it, and there's nothing you can do after it has gone.

My philosophy? Practice, practice, practice and win.

Practice, which some regard as a chore, should be approached as just about the most pleasant recreation ever devised.

Golf is a game of coordination, rhythm, and grace; women have these to a high degree.

If you win through bad sportsmanship that's no real victory.

The Babe is here. Who's coming in second?

Winning has always meant much to me, but winning friends has meant the most.

You can't win them all but you can try.

The formula for success is simple: practice and concentration then more practice and more concentration.

I really do miss playing basketball. I don't play a lot of pick-up games. But I do like using basketball as a form of cross training.
