In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
Sam Snead

I'd say that golf is about 75% mental. If your state of mind gets out of kilter, you're worse off than a tomcat floating on a log.

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.

'You know Bobby, when I was your age I'd drive the ball right over those trees at the corner.' Feeling challenged Mr. Cole hit a big driver right into those big trees. Snead then said 'Of course, when I was your age, those trees were only 10 feet high.'
Sam Snead
Image
You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.
Sam Snead
Image
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
Sam Snead
Image
I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.

Image
Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.
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.
Sam Snead
Image
Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.

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.
