More quotes by Sam Snead
Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.
Sam Snead
Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.
Sam Snead
Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
Sam Snead
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
Sam Snead
A bad putter is like a bad apple in a barrel. First, it turns your chipping game sour. Then it begins to eat into your irons and finally it just cleans the head off your driver.
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
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.
Sam Snead
To quit between tee and green is more habit-forming than drinking a highball before breakfast.
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
I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.
Sam Snead
Over the years I've studied the habits of golfers. I know what to look for. Watch their eyes. Fear shows up when there is an enlargement of the pupils. Big pupils lead to big scores.
Sam Snead
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.
Sam Snead
'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
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
If I had cleared the trees and drove the green, it would've been a great shot.
Sam Snead
The only place that's holier than St. Andrews is Westminster Abbey.
Sam Snead
Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.
Sam Snead
That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
Sam Snead
I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.
