I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It’s like a rattlesnake in your pocket.

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.
BEN HOGAN

Accident Ball Moving Other Way
When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
BEN HOGAN

Opportunity Practice
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there’s no reason why he can’t shoot 18. Why can’t you birdie every hole on the course?
BEN HOGAN

Golf Men Reason Shoot
A shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill.

Golf Luck Skills Two
You never fight your eye when you look at a hole. If it looks one way, play it that way. Don’t make a big deal out of an easy shot.

Eye Fighting Play
If the Masters offered no money at all, I would be here trying just as hard.

Good golf begins with a good grip.

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.

Accept Aim Continually Same Try Way
I never played a round when I didn’t learn something new about the game.
BEN HOGAN

Games Golf New Something
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.

I’m glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.

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

When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
BEN HOGAN

Game Golf Practice Right
I see no reason that a golf course cannot be played in 18 birdies. Just because no one has ever done that doesn’t mean it can’t be done.

The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.

Every day that you don’t practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness
