When I have a match to play, I begin to relax as soon as I wake up. Everything I do, I do slow and easy. That goes for stroking the razor, getting dressed, and eating my breakfast.

Walter Hagen
Hurry up Gene, I got a date tonight.
Walter Hagen

Walter Hagen

Walter Hagen
There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.

Walter Hagen
You don't have the game you played last year or last week. You only have today's game. It may be far from your best, but that's all you've got. Harden your heart and make the best of it.
Walter Hagen
