Lee Trevino Quotes

I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it.

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

Mouth, Sweat, Guts

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

Money, Difficult, Hand

I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.

Possible, Telephone, Stay

I don't know of any other organization that's raised more money than golf has, because if you are a baseball player, you're a football player, you're a hockey player, if you're just a businessman, and you want to raise some money for a charity, what do they do? They have a golf tournament. They have a golf outing, and they go out and they do it.

Money, Baseball, Golf

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.

God, Golf, Storm

I believe in reincarnation. In my last life I was a peasant. Next time around, I'd like to be an eagle. Who hasn't dreamed they could fly? They're a protected species, too.

Life, Time, Fly

Sure, I've felt racism. I think everybody has prejudice. When I was growing up, the dark Mexican kids weren't allowed in the public swimming pool in Dallas. My light-skinned friend got in, and he laughed at us. It didn't seem like a big deal, because we didn't know any different. So I never ran into anything that actually scarred me.

Racism, Dark, Friend

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

Golf, Create, Touch

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.

Time, Quality, Sure

I always loved hitting a low fade to a back-right pin with the wind howling from the right. Not many guys could get it close in that situation, because they kept it low by just putting the ball back in their stance. You see, playing the ball back turns you into a one-trick pony - you can only hit hooks.

Wind, Situation, Loved

Only bad golfers are lucky. They're the ones bouncing balls off trees, curbs, turtles and cars. Good golfers have bad luck. When you hit the ball straight, a funny bounce is bound to be unlucky.

Funny, Good, Luck

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

Lightning, Scared, Four

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.

Game, Nice, Picnic

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

Time, Good, Wife

A hungry dog hunts best.

Best, Dog, Hungry

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.

Focus, Fishing, Fish

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

Money, Win, Winner

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.

Life, King, Early

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 swing weight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer. It also makes it difficult to hit the ball high enough for all situations.

Love, Good, Difficult

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.

God, Stand, Iron

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

Pressure, Dollars, Pocket

The older I get the better I used to be!

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.

Stars, Enjoy, Living

I will fall in love with any golf course that you have to drive the ball straight. You understand what I'm saying? That's my advantage. My advantage wasn't putting. In fact, I wasn't even a great putter or a good putter.

Love, Good, Great

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.

Sports, Work, Money
