The Object Of Golf Is To Beat

He [the Golfer] Must Have The Courage To Keep Trying In The Face Of Ill Luck Or Disappointment, And Timidity To Appreciate And Appraise The Dangers Of Each Stroke, And To Curb The Desire To Take Chances Beyond Reasonable Hope Of Success.

A Leading Difficulty With The Average Player Is That He Totally Misunderstands What Is Meant By Concentration. He May Think He Is Concentrating Hard When He Is Merely Worrying.

The 'enemy' In Golf Is Tension.

I Always Like To See A Person Stand Up To A Golf Ball As Though He Were Perfectly At Home In Its Presence.

No-one Will Ever Have Golf Under His Thumb. No Round Ever Will Be So Good It Could Not Have Been Better. Perhaps This Is Why Golf Is The Greatest Of Games. You Are Not Playing A Human Adversary; You A Playing A Game. You Are Playing Old Man Par.
