You only hit a straight ball by accident. The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other.
Ben Hogan

The most important shot in golf is the next one.

I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
Ben Hogan
Image
You hear stories about me beating my brains out practising, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it's a joy that very few people experience.
Ben Hogan

I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
Ben Hogan
Image
Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You've got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you're in the boondocks it won't do you any good.
Ben Hogan
Image
When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
Ben Hogan
Image
There's no set time or schedule for developing one's skills as a professional golfer, and it certainly doesn't come overnight. It's a muscle-memory exercise that comes over time.
Ben Hogan
Image
I see no reason that a golf course cannot be played in 18 birdies. Just because no one has ever done that doesn't mean it can't be done.
Ben Hogan
Image
I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
Ben Hogan
Image
I have always felt and said that a man who can be a champion in one era could be a champion in any other era because he has what it takes to reach the top.
