That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
Sam Snead
Image
There is an old saying: if a man comes home with sand in his cuffs and cockleburs in his pants, don't ask him what he shot.
Sam Snead
Image
No matter what happens - never give up a hole....In tossing in your cards after a bad beginning you also undermine your whole game, because to quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.
Sam Snead
Image
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
Sam Snead
Image
Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.

Sam Snead
Image
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.

Image
I shot a wild elephant in Africa thirty yards from me, and it didn't hit the ground until it was right at my feet. I wasn't a bit scared. But a four foot putt scares me to death.

The only place that's holier than St. Andrews is Westminster Abbey.
Sam Snead
Image
You have more potential than you think.
Sam Snead
Image
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
Image
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
Sam Snead
Image
Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
Sam Snead
Image
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
Sam Snead
Image
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.
