Had I Not Become A Professional Golfer,

From The Beginning It Was Drilled Into Me That A Golf Course Was A Place Where Character Fully Reveals Itself -- Both Its Strengths And Its Flaws. As A Result, I Learned Early Not Only To Fix My Ball Marks But Also To Congratulate An Opponent On A Good Shot, Avoid Walking Ahead Of A Player Preparing To Shoot, Remain Perfectly Still When Someone Else Was Playing, And A Score Of Other Small Courtesies That Revealed, In My Father's Mind, One's Abiding Respect For The Game.

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.

The Secret Of Concentration Is The Secret Of Self-discovery. You Reach Inside Yourself To Discover Your Personal Resources, And What It Takes To Match Them To The Challenge.

I'm In Love With Golf, And I Want Everybody Else To Share My Love Affair.

I Try To Deign Golf Courses That Are Individual In Character And Individual In Their Own Standing.
