“Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.”

“My point is, there's no sense trying to squeeze something out of your swing if you can let your clubs do the shotmaking for you.”

“When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.”

“When you're poor, you know nothing about the future, you know nothing about the world, nothing that goes on outside 300 yards around you.”

“I met Jesse Owens once. He was a remarkable individual, and I have tremendous respect for what he did in the Olympics under the circumstances.”

“I'm not scared of very much. I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.”

“When it comes to the game of life, I figure I've played the whole course.”

“One of the nice things about the Senior Tour is that we can take a cart and cooler. If your game is not going well, you can always have a picnic.”

“I always loved hitting a low fade to a back-right pin with the wind howling from the right. Not many guys could get it close in that situation, because they kept it low by just putting the ball back in their stance. You see, playing the ball back turns you into a one-trick pony - you can only hit hooks.”

“I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it.”

“The most interesting guy I've ever played with was King Hassan of Morocco. I went over there on a trip in the early 1970s, and the King and I played five holes. I've never been that nervous in my life.”

“I still sweat. My guts are still grinding out there. Sometimes I have enough cotton in my mouth to knit a sweater.”

“You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen.”

“My wife doesn't care what I do when I'm away, as long as I don't have a good time.”

“I've played golf with three U.S presidents.”

“There are two things that won't last long in this world, and that's dogs chasing cars and pros putting for pars.”

“Pressure is playing for ten dollars when you don't have a dime in your pocket.”

“I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it. I'm a positive guy. When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.”

“Every shot feels like the first shot of the day. If I'm on the range hitting shot after shot, I can hit them just as good as I did when I was 30. But out on the course, your body changes between shots. You get out of the cart, and you've got this 170-yard 5-iron over a bunker, and it goes about 138.”

“You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.”
