More quotes by Ben Hogan
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
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
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
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
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
May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.
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
I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
Ben Hogan
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
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
Ben Hogan
Hit the ball up to the hole... You meet a better class of people up there.
Ben Hogan
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
Ben Hogan
There's no set time or schedule for developing one's skills as a professional golfer, and it certainly doesn't come overnight. It's a muscle-memory exercise that comes over time.
Ben Hogan
Why that would be like challenging Bing Crosby to a singing contest,wouldn't it
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
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
The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
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
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
Ben Hogan
When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
