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
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.

Certainly, if you can't manage your game, you can't play tournament golf. You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can't play every hole the same way. I never could.

I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.
Ben Hogan
Image
People have always been telling me what I can't do. I guess I have wanted to show them. That's been one of my driving forces all my life.
Ben Hogan
Image
I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.
Ben Hogan
Image
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
Ben Hogan
Image
There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
Ben Hogan
Image
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.
Ben Hogan
Image
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
Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.
Ben Hogan
Image
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
Ben Hogan
Image
I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
