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 play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.
Ben Hogan

I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
