More quotes by Sam Snead
Just have a Coke or something and watch the boys go past.
Sam Snead
I give the ball some sweet talk. I tell it that this isn't going to hurt a bit. I'm a friend and all I'm going to do is give it a nice little ride.
Sam Snead
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
Sam Snead
Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.
Sam Snead
You have more potential than you think.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
Sam Snead
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.

Sam Snead
I believe in destiny...what's going to be is going to be. If I'm going to win, I'm going to win...I don't give a damn what the other guy shoots. I'm going to win if it's my turn.
Sam Snead
First and fore-most, you must have confidence. Your second mental problem is concentration. Think the shot through in advance before you address the ball. Draw a mental image of where you want it to go and then eliminate everything else from your mind, except how you are going to get the ball into that preferred spot.
Sam Snead
Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.
Sam Snead
Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.
Sam Snead
I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.
Sam Snead
A bad putter is like a bad apple in a barrel. First, it turns your chipping game sour. Then it begins to eat into your irons and finally it just cleans the head off your driver.
Sam Snead
What did I want with prestige? The British Open paid the winner $600 in American money. A man would have to be two hundred years old at that rate to retire from golf.
Sam Snead
Over the years I've studied the habits of golfers. I know what to look for. Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores.
