Quotes from Johnny Miller

I don't want to brag, but I do more homework on the course than any other announcer. I chart the greens to get all the breaks. I walk down into the greenside bunkers. I walk into the fairway bunkers to see whether a player can reach the green from them.

Match play really exposes your character and how much of a will to win you have in your heart.

Serenity is knowing that your worst shot is still pretty good.

I was tough on myself when I didn't finish off a tournament right.

Everybody has some part of their game that is easily influenced to choke.

I've had two lives. The golfing part... the younger generation sort of heard about me but maybe didn't realize I wasn't too bad at times. Then the announcing part.

I do like to point out the trick putts, the ones that look like they go one way but actually go another. I think the audience likes to know when a putt looks like it's two inches outside left, but it's actually two inches outside right.

I try to really say what I think is happening, and I'm pretty forthright. I obviously hold back some things. But pretty much, what I see and feel, I say on the air.

I've played with amateurs for a million years, and they just don't hit many flush shots.

In golf, 'close' is like the north and south rim of the Grand Canyon.

I remember, when I won at Tucson by nine shots in 1975, I would say the average iron shot I hit that week was no more than two feet off line. It was unbelievable.

I grew up in an era where the perfect drive was a line drive, with quite a bit more spin.

If you don't like my announcing, you don't like me.
