I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
BEN HOGANI play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
BEN HOGANI don’t like the glamour. I just like the game.
BEN HOGANYou 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.
BEN HOGANThe only thing a golfer needs is more daylight.
BEN HOGANLike most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.
BEN HOGANThis is a game of misses. The guy who misses the best is going to win.
BEN HOGANIf 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 HOGANPeople have always been telling me what I can’t do. I guess I have wanted to show them. That’s been one of my driving forces all my life.
BEN HOGANThe ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
BEN HOGANSelecting a stroke is like selecting a wife. To each his own.
BEN HOGANCertainly, if you can’t manage your game, you can’t play tournament golf.
BEN HOGANYou 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.
BEN HOGANGolf was my life. I didn’t want to give it up. So I went to work!
BEN HOGANWhen you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
BEN HOGANGood golf begins with a good grip.
BEN HOGANI have always felt and said that a man who can be a champion in one era could be a champion in any other era because he has what it takes to reach the top.
