Those who go along get along.
Sam Snead
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.
Sam Snead
Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
Sam Snead
I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.
Sam Snead
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
That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
Sam Snead
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.
Sam Snead
You have more potential than you think.
Sam Snead
Forget your opponents always play against par.
Sam Snead
Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.
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
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
Sam Snead
If I had cleared the trees and drove the green, it would've been a great shot.
Sam Snead
Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
Sam Snead
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.
Sam Snead
When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.
Sam Snead
Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.
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
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
