The ideal build for a golfer would be strong hands, big forearms, thin neck, big thighs and a flat chest. He’d look like Popeye.
The harder you work, the luckier you get.
When travelling, I make a point of eating a proper diet no matter where I am in the world. It is getting much easier to eat a vegetarian or vegan based diet.
There is absolutely nothing humorous at the Masters. Here, small dogs do not bark and babies do not cry.
You can always speak with great authority on how well you played today, but never on how you’ll play tomorrow.
I don’t have any hesitation saying I’ve traveled more miles than any human being who ever lived. I’ve been doing it for 60 years.
Perhaps the most important thing I can tell you about equipment is to experiment and keep an open mind.
I always said that if they have a golf course like this in heaven, I want to be the head pro.
Golf is a puzzle without an answer.
If there’s a golf course in heaven, I hope it’s like Augusta National. I just don’t want an early tee time.

When a rules man gives you a ruling, that’s it. Amen.
I think that if people would be willing to grow some of their own food or eat locally grown organic foods on a regular basis we could significantly decrease the amount of harmful chemicals we pump into our soil every day.
Enjoy the game. Happy golf is good golf.

I’ve traveled more than any human being who’s ever lived.

I try to work with God as a partner.

In my mind what Gary has done in the pages that follow is to tell people the honest truth – that one of the greatest challenges in life is to admit to yourself that you want something badly, dare to believe you can do it, and then go out and get yourself to do whatever it is you need to do to get whatever it is that you want. It is easy to want something and then be overcome by the fear that no matter how hard you work, you will never get what you want.
