More quotes by Ben Hogan
I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
Ben Hogan
The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.
Ben Hogan
I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
Ben Hogan
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
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
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.
Ben Hogan
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
Ben Hogan
May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
Ben Hogan
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
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
When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
Ben Hogan
If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
Ben Hogan
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
Shoot a lower score than everybody else.
Ben Hogan
I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
Ben Hogan
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
Good golf begins with a good grip.
Ben Hogan
A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill.
Ben Hogan
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
Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.
Ben Hogan
