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.

More quotes by Ben Hogan
I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.
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
If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
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
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
Placing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.
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
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
May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
Ben Hogan
Shoot a lower score than everybody else.
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
The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
Ben Hogan
Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.
Ben Hogan
Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.
Ben Hogan
There is no similarity between golf and putting they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
Ben Hogan
I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
Ben Hogan
This is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.
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
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
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
