From the papers

I don't know why putting can be so hard. I guess it's because I expect them all to go in.

I want it all right now. I want a birdie every hole. I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do.

I'm tickled to death. I made enough money to go fishin'.

2 April 1989
I never blame my equipment, but I kept missing three-and four-foot putts. So I told myself, Hey, you have got to make a change. I didn't get rid of my old putter. I just put it on probation.
