May thy ball lie in green pastures, and not in still waters.

Ben Hogan

When you see an opportunity, you practice and work, at least from sunup to sundown.
BEN HOGAN

Opportunity Practice
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
BEN HOGAN

Golf Management Talent
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.
BEN HOGAN

Eye Fighting Play
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?

Certainly, if you can’t manage your game, you can’t play tournament golf.

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
There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.

I always outworked everybody. Work never bothered me as it bothers some people.

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
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.

Hit the ball up to the hole… You meet a better class of people up there.

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