In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
Sam Snead
If I had cleared the trees and drove the green, it would've been a great shot.
Sam Snead
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.

Sam Snead

Sam Snead
But you don't have to go up in the stands and play your foul balls. I do.
Sam Snead
That little white ball is always staring back at you, daring you to make a mistake.
Sam Snead
Of the mental hazards, being scared is the worst. When you get scared, you get tense.
Sam Snead
Grip the club as if you were holding a baby bird.
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'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
You have more potential than you think.
Sam Snead
Those who go along get along.
