Nobody asked how you looked, just what you 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.

But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
Sam Snead
Image
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.

Image
I've been on some fairways that are as good as the greens we putted on back then. We had crab grass. I remember one green where I putted through ants.

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.

You have more potential than you think.

Those who go along get along.

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.

'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.'

To be consistently effective, you must put a certain distance between yourself and what happens to you on the golf course. This is not indifference, it's detachment.
