More quotes by 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
The only thing I fear on a golf course is lightning...and Ben Hogan.
Sam Snead
Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.
Sam Snead
Keep close count of your nickels and dimes, stay away from whiskey, and never concede a putt.
Sam Snead
I've said a thousand times, you can't go into a shop and buy a good golf game.
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.

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
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
Sam Snead
Those who go along get along.
Sam Snead
Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.
Sam Snead
Playing golf is like eating. It's something which has to come naturally.

Golf tip: Lay off for three weeks and then quit for good.
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
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
If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.
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
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
When I swing at a golf ball right, my mind is blank and my body is loose as a goose.
Sam Snead
Don't just play your way around the course. Think your way around way around the course.
