More quotes by Sam Snead
Good golfing temperament falls between taking it with a grin or shrug and throwing a fit.
Sam Snead
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.
Sam Snead
Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.
Sam Snead
That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
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
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

Sam Snead
Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
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
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
Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.
Sam Snead
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
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
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
Those who go along get along.
Sam Snead
Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.
