Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
Sam Snead

Never let up. The more you can win by, the more doubts you put in the other players' minds the next time out.
Sam Snead
Image
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.

I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.
Sam Snead
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.

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.

Image
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
Sam Snead
Image
To quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.
Sam Snead
Image
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
Sam Snead
Image
I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.
Sam Snead
Image
Don't just play your way around the course. Think your way around way around the course.
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.

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.

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.
