One of the nice things about the Senior Tour is that we can take a cart and cooler. If your game is not going well, you can always have a picnic.

I’m going to win so much money this year, my caddie will make the top twenty money winner’s list.

Golf isn’t just my business, it’s my hobby.

There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.

My wife doesn’t care what I do when I’m away, as long as I don’t have a good time.

I’m not out there just to be dancing around. I expect to win every time I tee up.

When it comes to the game of life, I figure I’ve played the whole course.

There are two things that won’t last long in this world, and that’s dogs chasing cars and pros putting for pars.

My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That’s what happens when you haven’t been home in eighteen years.

I met Jesse Owens once. He was a remarkable individual, and I have tremendous respect for what he did in the Olympics under the circumstances.

No one who ever had lessons would have a swing like mine.

Putts get real difficult the day they hand out the money.

I never played much golf as a kid. I caddied quite a bit but never got serious into golf until about age 15.

Nobody but you and your caddie care what you do out there, and if your caddie is betting against you, he doesn’t care, either.

If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

I think a lot of Jim Thorpe, the Olympian, and his accomplishments.

I have an orthopedic pillow that’s made out of a sponge material. I have a plate in my throat, and I have to be careful or I could end up with a bad neck in the morning. That pillow is a must everywhere I go.

His nerve, his memory, and I can’t remember the third thing.

I still sweat. My guts are still grinding out there. Sometimes I have enough cotton in my mouth to knit a sweater.

A hungry dog hunts best.

Living in Dallas, I root for the Mavericks and the Stars and the Cowboys, but I’ve always pulled for the Chicago Cubs. I enjoy watching them play.

I’m actually a very quiet person off the golf course. I talk 150 miles per hour when I’m at the course, but when in private I very seldom ever open my mouth.

Pressure is playing for ten dollars when you don’t have a dime in your pocket.

Yes, I think I have the best swing on the Tour. Why have scores comedown in the last ten years? Partly because they are imitating me.

I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.

I use an Arnold Palmer putter that was probably built back in 1954.

You can talk to a fade but a hook won’t listen.

Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.

You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.

I’m not scared of very much. I’ve been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.

Pressure is when you play for five dollars a hole with only two in your pocket.

If I could do anything over, I’d have spent more time with my first set of children. I would have taken more quality time with them, for sure.

I adore the game of golf. I won’t ever retire.

How can they beat me? I’ve been struck by lightning, had two back operations, and been divorced twice.

In case of a thunderstorm, stand in the middle of the fairway and hold up a one iron. Not even God can hit a one iron.

I’ve played golf with three U.S presidents.

The most interesting guy I’ve ever played with was King Hassan of Morocco. I went over there on a trip in the early 1970s, and the King and I played five holes. I’ve never been that nervous in my life.

I’ve traveled the world and been about everywhere you can imagine. There’s not anything I’m scared of except my wife.

The older I get the better I used to be!
