One
of the things that my parents
have taught me is never
listen to other people's
expectations. You should
live your own life and
live up to your own expectations,
and those are the only
things I really care about
it.
Tiger Woods
Golf
is a game that is played
on a five-inch course -
the distance between your
ears.
Bobby Jones
If
you expect a bad lie for
even one second, the gods
will know it and give you
a bad lie.
Michelle Wie
Forget
your opponents; always
play against par.
Sam Sneed
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.
Arnold Palmer
Relax?
How can anybody relax and
play golf? You have to
grip the club don't you?
Ben Hogan
A
lot of guys who have have
never choked, have never
been in the position to
do so.
Tom Watson
Putts
get real difficult the
day they hand out the money.
Lee Trevino
They
say I get into too many
bunkers. But is no problem.
I am the best bunker player.
Severiano Ballesteros
Golf
is 90 percent inspiration
and 10 percent perspiration.
Johnny Miller
The
person I fear most in the
last two rounds is myself.
Tom Watson
Golf's
a funny game. You can be
playing poorly and then
go and win a tournament.
Karrie Webb
Nobody
asked how you looked, just
what you shot.
Sam Snead
I
can honestly say in my
entire career, I've never
gone around a golf course
and not mis-hit a shot,
but today I never missed
a shot. I hit every driver
perfect, every iron perfect.
I'm in awe of myself.
Greg Norman
You’ve
got to figure out what
works best for you. That’s
the hard part. I know I
can’t
play as stoic as Hogan,
and I can’t
talk as much as Trevino.
You have to be your own
person.
Tiger Woods
Happiness is a long walk with a putter.

Which
one of you is going to
be runner-up?
Walter Hagen (on the eve of the US PGA,
which Hagen won).
The
word is control. That's
my ultimate - to have control.
Nick Faldo
I
figure practice puts your brains in your muscles.
Sam Snead
The more I practice, the luckier I get.
Gary Player
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.
Jack Nicklaus
Ron
Sirak, a golf writer
and friend, was quoted
as saying, "Annika
is no longer a female
golfer. She's a golfer." That's
truly all I ever aspired
to be.
Annika Sorenstam
The
thing I was most proud
of about today's round
was that
on this course everybody is going to make mistakes,
but sometimes it's hard
to forget about it and
let it
go. After I made a double on 1, I was able to be patient
and let it go and came
back with birdies on 3
and 5.
When I bogeyed 6, I was able to let it go and come back
with a birdie on 8. I
was able to let go of some
bad
shots and forget about it and move on.
Phil Mickelson
The
pressure makes me more
intent about each shot.
Pressure
on the last few holes makes me play better.
Nancy Lopez
The
only time I talk on a golf course is to my caddie. And
then only to complain when he gives me the wrong club.
Seve Ballesteros
I'm
a very intense person.
When I go after something,
I want to go after it with everything I have. I want to push
myself to the edge.
Greg Norman
He's
been a top player for the last 10 years, and we all
work on our swings, we all change things. We keep working
and then we're trying to get better, and sometimes
you get worse trying to get better. You've just got to
give it some time, be patient for it to turn around, and
when it does turn around, you feel like you can start
winning again.
Ernie Els
