More quotes by Ben Hogan
I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
Ben Hogan
You wouldn't have had to call a penalty on me, I would've called I on myself'. 9. “I'm the sole judge of my standards”. 10. “I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me like it bothers some people. You can outwork the best player in the world.
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
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
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'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
Ben Hogan
Your name is the most important thing you own. Don't ever do anything to disgrace or cheapen it.
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
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.
Ben Hogan
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
I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
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
I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.
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
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
Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.
Ben Hogan
If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
Ben Hogan
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
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.
