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.

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

May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.

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
I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket.

Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?

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.

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
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
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
Image
I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
Ben Hogan
Image
A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill.
Ben Hogan
Image
Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
Ben Hogan
Image
Why that would be like challenging Bing Crosby to a singing contest,wouldn't it
Ben Hogan
Image
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.

The average golfer's problem is not so much the lack of ability as it is lack of knowledge about what he should be doing

If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
