More quotes by 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
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. I'm practically in slow motion. By the time I'm ready to tee off, I'm so used to taking my time that it's impossible to hurry my swing.
Walter Hagen
If you worry about the ones you missed, you are going to keep missing them.
Walter Hagen
No one remembers who came in second.
Walter Hagen
There is no tragedy in missing a putt, no matter how short. All have erred in this respect.
Walter Hagen
Whatever happens on the golf course is OK, because if I put the ball in trouble I know that I have the skills to get it out of trouble and back into play.
Walter Hagen
What a shame to waste those great shots on the practice tee.
Walter Hagen
I don't want to be a millionaire just live like one.
Walter Hagen

Walter Hagen
Miss a putt for $2,000? Not likely!
Walter Hagen
It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.
Walter Hagen
Why waste good shots in practice when you might need them in a match?
Walter Hagen
Trouble shots are surprisingly easy if you activate your imagination. You simply must be able to imagine exactly what flight the ball will take before you can play any shot well.
Walter Hagen
I would rather be of clear mind and decision with the wrong club than with an unclear mind and the right club.
Walter Hagen
Short putts are missed because it is not physically possible to make the little ball travel over uncertain ground for three or four feet with any degree of regularity.
Walter Hagen
Give me a man with big hands and big feet and no brains and I'll make a golfer out of him.
Walter Hagen
Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
Walter Hagen
Here Eddie, hold the flag while I putt out.
Walter Hagen
That's the easiest 69 I ever made.
Walter Hagen
The course is playing the players instead of the players playing the course.
