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.

More quotes by 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
Forget your opponents always play against par.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
Sam Snead
Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.
Sam Snead
You've just one problem. You stand too close to the ball after you've hit it.
Sam Snead
If I had cleared the trees and drove the green, it would've been a great shot.
Sam Snead
Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.
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
In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
Sam Snead
Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.
Sam Snead
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
Sam Snead
What did I want with prestige? The British Open paid the winner $600 in American money. A man would have to be two hundred years old at that rate to retire from golf.
Sam Snead
You have more potential than you think.
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
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
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
Sam Snead
I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.
Sam Snead
If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
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
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
