The average golfer’s problem is not so much the lack of ability as it is lack of knowledge about what he should be doing

Ben Hogan

You only hit a straight ball by accident. The ball is going to move right or left every time you hit it, so you had better make it go one way or the other.

Accident Ball Moving Other Way
There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.

I dreamed one night that I had 17 holes-in-one and one two, and when I woke up I was so goddam mad.

You hear stories about me beating my brains out practising, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I’m hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it’s a joy that very few people experience.

You continually have to ask yourself what club to play, where to aim it, whether to accept a safe par or to try to go for a birdie. You can’t play every hole the same way. I never could.

Control is the main thing, and the tee shot is the most important shot in golf. You’ve got to hit the fairway before you have a good chance of putting the ball close to the pin. You can be the greatest iron player in the world, but if you’re in the boondocks it won’t do you any good.

Jesus Christ can’t hit a golf ball straight. It’s virtually impossible – at best it’s an accident.

There’s no set time or schedule for developing one’s skills as a professional golfer, and it certainly doesn’t come overnight. It’s a muscle-memory exercise that comes over time.
