More quotes by 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
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
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
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
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
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
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
You have more potential than you think.
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
When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.
Sam Snead
Forget your opponents always play against par.
Sam Snead
Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
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
Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.
Sam Snead
I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.
Sam Snead
I was a better player at 50 than I was at 30.
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.'
