There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
Ben Hogan
Image
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
Image
I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.
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.
Ben Hogan
Image
Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness
Ben Hogan
Image
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.

Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
Ben Hogan
Image
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
Image
May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
Ben Hogan
Image
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'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
Ben Hogan
Image
If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
Ben Hogan
Image
The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.
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.
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
Good golf begins with a good grip.
Ben Hogan
Image
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
Ben Hogan
Image
The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
Ben Hogan
Image
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
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.
