Good golf begins with a good grip.

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
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.

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
When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
Ben Hogan
Image
I never played a round when I didn't learn something new about the game.

Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.
