Ben Hogan

“There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.”

“Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.”

“Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?”

“Shoot a lower score than everybody else.”

“Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.”

“As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.”

“If we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest golfer who ever lived.”

“The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.”

“I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.”

“Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.”

“A well hit golf shot is a feeling that goes up the shaft, right through your hands and into your heart.”

“I couldn't wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.”

“I learn something new about the game almost every time I step on the course.”

“The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.”

“I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.”
