Zitat des Tages von Lee Trevino:
I'm not out there just to be dancing around. I expect to win every time I tee up.
There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it.
Golf isn't just my business, it's my hobby.
When it comes to the game of life, I figure I've played the whole course.
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.
I've traveled the world and been about everywhere you can imagine. There's not anything I'm scared of except my wife.
I adore the game of golf. I won't ever retire.
I use an Arnold Palmer putter that was probably built back in 1954.
I've played golf with three U.S presidents.
Putts get real difficult the day they hand out the money.
Every shot feels like the first shot of the day. If I'm on the range hitting shot after shot, I can hit them just as good as I did when I was 30. But out on the course, your body changes between shots. You get out of the cart, and you've got this 170-yard 5-iron over a bunker, and it goes about 138.
A hungry dog hunts best.
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 still sweat. My guts are still grinding out there. Sometimes I have enough cotton in my mouth to knit a sweater.
Pressure is playing for ten dollars when you don't have a dime in your pocket.
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.
If your concentration is getting bad, take up bass fishing. It will really improve your ability to focus. If you aren't ready when that fish hits, you can't set the hook.
The older I get the better I used to be!
Michael Jordan was a tremendous basketball player.
I keep lot of my opinions to myself. My grandfather, who was a gravedigger, told me one day, 'Son, the next time you go by the cemetery, remember that a third of the people are in there because they got into other people's business.'
Pressure is when you play for five dollars a hole with only two 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 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.
No one who ever had lessons would have a swing like mine.
You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen.
You can't teach passion. You can teach everything else.
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.
My wife doesn't care what I do when I'm away, as long as I don't have a good time.
Chi Chi Rodriguez had as good a pair of hands as anybody I ever saw, and more shots than you can imagine. But Chi Chi had a habit of turning simple shots into difficult ones.
How can they beat me? I've been struck by lightning, had two back operations, and been divorced twice.
Seve Ballesteros was the best trouble-shot player who ever lived. It didn't matter how far in the woods you put that guy, he'd find a way to get out. But Seve inadvertently put a lot of big numbers on the scorecards of average players, because he inspired them to take dumb chances.
I love watching Anthony Kim play, but I'm not a fan of the way he grips down a good two inches on his full-swing shots. Choking down lightens the club's swingweight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer.
I'm not scared of very much. I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years.
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.
