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.
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.

Ben Hogan

The greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.

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
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.

If you can't outplay them, outwork them.
