Golf Is You Against Yourself.

I Never Hit A Shot, Not Even In Practice, Without Having A Very Sharp, In-focus Picture Of It In My Head. It's Like A Color Movie. First I 'see' Where I Want It To Finish, Nice And White And Sitting Up High On The Bright Green Grass. Then The Scene Quickly Changes And I 'see' The Ball Going There: Its Path, Trajectory, And Shape, Even Its Behavior On Landing. Then There Is This Sort Of Fadeout, And The Next Scene Shows Me Making The Kind Of Swing That Will Turn The Previous Images To Reality.

Professional Golf Is The Only Sport Where, If You Win 20% Of The Time, You're The Best.

Well, I Think That Augusta Is Not The Same Golf Course That I Grew Up On. Bobby Jones' Philosophy Was Giving You Space Off The Tee; If You Put It In The Right Side Of The Fairway, You Ended Up Getting The Right Angle To The Green.

The Fact Is, I Diet Every Day Of My Life. I Have To Work At It. But I Diet So I Can Pig Out.

I Came Back And In '63, I Was At The British Open, Trying To Win My First British Open. And I Had What I Thought Was A Two-shot Lead With Two Holes To Play At Lytham. I Remember It Like It Was Yesterday. Anybody With A Proper Brain Would Have Played The Ball Short Of The Hole. I Didn't Have A Proper Brain At The Time. But You Have To Make That Mistake To Learn It.
