Why waste good shots in practice when you might need them in a match?

He may have gone to bed three hours ago, but he knows who he is playing. You can rest assured that he hasn't slept a wink.

Which one of you is going to be runner-up?

Here Eddie, hold the flag while I putt out.

That's the easiest 69 I ever made.

I never played a perfect 18 holes. There is no such thing. I expect to make at least seven mistakes a round. Therefore, when I make a bad shot, I don't worry about it. It is just one of the seven.

If you worry about the ones you missed, you are going to keep missing them.

When I have a match to play, I begin to relax as soon as I wake up. Everything I do, I do slow and easy. That goes for stroking the razor, getting dressed, and eating my breakfast. I'm practically in slow motion. By the time I'm ready to tee off, I'm so used to taking my time that it's impossible to hurry my swing.

Every golfer can expect to have four bad shots in a round and when you do, just put them out of your mind. This, of course is hard to do when you've had them and you're not even off the first tee.
