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.

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
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.

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
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
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
Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.
Ben Hogan
Image
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.
