I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It’s like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
BEN HOGANI hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It’s like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
BEN HOGANIf we could have just screwed another head on his shoulders, he would have been the greatest golfer who ever lived.
BEN HOGANI don’t like the glamour. I just like the game.
BEN HOGANThere are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
BEN HOGANI play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
BEN HOGANGolf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
BEN HOGANControl 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.
BEN HOGANI don’t believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.
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 HOGANI have found the game to be, in all factualness, a universal language wherever I traveled at home or abroad.
BEN HOGANThe greatest pleasure is obtained by improving.
BEN HOGANThe ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
BEN HOGANA shot that goes in the cup is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill.
BEN HOGANThe most important shot in golf is the next one.
BEN HOGANI’m glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
BEN HOGANThere is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
