There is no truth in the idea that the person who hits the most balls will become the best golfer. Golf is a bizarre sport. You can work for years on your game, without making any improvement in your score.

More quotes by Fred Couples
Golf is supposed to be fun, but I don't think anything is fun if you're not doing it reasonably well.
Fred Couples
I expect myself to do well. I'm not, like, 'Oh, well.' I'm not in that category just yet. I don't play great golf a lot anymore. I do it every now and then. I finished third in the British Open last year, so I know I can still do it.
Fred Couples
Everybody teaches a system. I just try to shoot where I'm aiming. I play by sight and feel not by technical thoughts.
Fred Couples
I caddied for a guy who was a very good player, and he gave me a set of clubs, just a starter set: 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron, putter and driver. I just loved it. How I developed my swing was to just grab a club and start banging balls.
Fred Couples
When you're prepared, you're more confident. When you have a strategy, you're more comfortable.
Fred Couples
As far as swing and techniques are concerned, I don't know diddly squat. When I'm playing well, I don't even take aim.
Fred Couples
When I'm playing well, I don't even take aim.
Fred Couples
Really in all my years on Tour, in the U.S. Open I probably played great golf in two of them, out of maybe 20, so it's a lot of work.
Fred Couples
Always count your blessings. Be thankful you are able to be out on a beautiful course. Most people in the world don't have that opportunity.
Fred Couples
You know, I’m not a PGA of America guy.
Fred Couples
The press still considers me one of the most laid-back athletes since Babe Ruth. That's supposed to be a criticism, but I consider it a compliment because I think being carefree on the course is one of the secrets to scoring well consistently
Fred Couples
I don't answer the phone. I get the feeling whenever I do that there will be someone on the other end.
Fred Couples
I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well.
Fred Couples
I could go away five or six weeks in a row and never touch a club. I would just look at them and say, 'I just don't want to it's not that important.' And it wasn't that important. Golf - I don't want to answer loosely - I pay a lot of attention to it, but I don't ever really think about it.
