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.

More quotes by 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
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
Golf tip: Lay off for three weeks and then quit for good.
Sam Snead
Don't just play your way around the course. Think your way around way around the course.
Sam Snead
Practice puts brains in your muscles.
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
Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.
Sam Snead
Of all the hazards, fear is the worst.
Sam Snead
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
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
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
Nobody asked how you looked, just what you shot.
Sam Snead
Thinking instead of acting is the number one golf disease.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
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
Those who go along get along.
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
In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
Sam Snead
If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
