The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
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

Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.
Ben Hogan
Image
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.
Ben Hogan
Image
When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
Ben Hogan
Image
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.

Shoot a lower score than everybody else.
Ben Hogan
Image
I dreamed one night that I had 17 holes-in-one and one two, and when I woke up I was so goddam mad.
Ben Hogan
Image
You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don't make a big deal out of an easy shot.
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
The most important shot in golf is the next one.

Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness
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
Image
If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
Ben Hogan
Image
All other things being equal, greens break to the west.
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
Good golf begins with a good grip.
Ben Hogan
Image
The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.
Ben Hogan
Image
There is no similarity between golf and putting they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
Ben Hogan

Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
