I Know It Sounds Selfish,

Nobody - But Nobody - Has Ever Become Really Proficient At Golf Without Practice, Without Doing A Lot Of Thinking And Then Hitting A Lot Of Shots. It Isn't So Much A Lack Of Talent; It's A Lack Of Being Able To Repeat Good Shots Consistently That Frustrates Most Players. And The Only Answer To That Is Practice.

I'm More Proud Of The Good Rounds I've Played While Hitting The Ball Badly Than Of The Great Rounds While Hitting The Ball Well. I Understand My Swing Well Enough To Get Myself Through A Tournament And Win It. I've Made It Work.

I Never Used Golf As A Job. I Used It As A Game. I Always Thought If I Played The Game Well, My Financial Rewards Would Be There, But It Came From, Because I Played Well. But I Had To Play Well To Get The Financial Rewards.

Ben Hogan Was Not Really A Big Hitter. He Was Long Enough. But Ben Hogan Today? Ben Hogan Today Could Not Compete At Augusta Because He Did Not Have The Massive Length To Compete Against The Long Hitters. Power Was Always An Issue At Augusta, But Never So Dominant That You Couldn't Play It.

I Don't Think About Winning The Masters As Part Of The Slam. You Want To Win The Masters Because Of What It Means To The Game.
