Sam Snead
Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.
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
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.

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
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
Sam Snead
Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.
Sam Snead
You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.
Sam Snead
In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
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
Golf tip: Lay off for three weeks and then quit for good.
Sam Snead
If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
Sam Snead
Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.
