The game has such a hold on golfers because they compete not only against an opponent, but also against the course, against par, and most surely against themselves.

Success in golf depends less on strength of body, more on strength of mind and character.

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.
