How people keep correcting us when we are young! There is always some bad habit or other they tell us we ought to get over. Yet most bad habits are tools to help us through life Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the biggest problem is in your head. You’ve got to believe you can play a shot instead of wondering where your next bad shot is coming from Picture Quote #1

If I have a weakness, it’s probably ice cream. That’s where I get lax, sloppy. I’ll sneak into the refrigerator at night and take two or three bites and put it back. Butter pecan. Only two or three bites, but it shows Picture Quote #1

All I ever wanted to do was play competitive golf against the best players in the world Picture Quote #1

I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven’t killed a fish that I’ve caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it Picture Quote #1

Crises are part of life. Everybody has to face them, and it doesn’t make any difference what the crisis is Picture Quote #1

Golf was my vehicle to competition, and I can’t play if I can’t compete Picture Quote #1

Golfers have a tendency to be very masochistic. They like to punish themselves for some reason. A lot of them like tough courses Picture Quote #1

In 1979, when I was 39, I had such a bad year, I thought it was all over. Thankfully it wasn’t Picture Quote #1

Writers have told me more than once that I’m a better interview in defeat than in victory, which is a compliment I am extremely proud of Picture Quote #1

I’d rather be two strokes ahead going into the last day than two strokes behind. Having said that, it’s probably easier to win coming from behind. There is no fear in chasing. There is fear in being chased Picture Quote #1

I learned early in my career, where you get so wrapped up and so excited, that all of a sudden you don’t think. So I worked very hard to keep myself suppressed. And that’s one of the reasons I wasn’t gregarious with the gallery Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, I’m an ogre. I can be short. I’ll walk into the office some days and I’ve gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, and everybody knows it. I’m a perfectionist. I like to be organized, and I like to get everything done today Picture Quote #1

The long irons are the nemesis of the average golfer. I’m convinced that the underlying reason for this is that he keeps hearing how hard they are to handle. They’re not that difficult, truly Picture Quote #1

It’s great to win, but it’s also great fun just to be in the thick of any truly well and hard fought contest against opponents you respect, whatever the outcome Picture Quote #1

If there is one thing I have learned during my years as a professional, it is that the only thing constant about golf is its inconstancy Picture Quote #1

When you lip out several putts in a row, you should never think that means that you’re putting well. When you’re putting well, the only question is what part of the hole it’s going to fall in, not if it’s going in Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a lot of majors where I didn’t play well until the last round. Keep yourself in contention; that’s the name of the game. I usually ended up shooting a good round and all of a sudden, somehow, I won Picture Quote #1

There is no room in your mind for negative thoughts. The busier you keep yourself with the particulars of shot assessment and execution, the less chance your mind has to dwell on the emotional. This is sheer intensity Picture Quote #1

You can win tournaments when you’re mechanical, but golf is a game of emotion and adjustment. If you’re not aware of what’s happening to your mind and your body when you’re playing, you’ll never be able to be the very best you can be Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you would have missed that putt, but in these circumstances, I would never give you the opportunity Picture Quote #1

Every putt is different. Your feet dictate the stroke by how they feel on the green. I just never used the same stroke on every putt Picture Quote #1

I don't think you ever will yourself to win. I think you prepare yourself the best you can, get yourself in the best mindset you can get in, and go after it Picture Quote #1

The one strongest, most important part of my game is that I want to be the best. I won't accept anything less that that. My ability to concentrate and work toward hat goal has been my greatest asset Picture Quote #1
