BEN HOGANWhen I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
BEN HOGANI could not wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.
BEN HOGANI have found the game to be, in all factualness, a universal language wherever I traveled at home or abroad.
BEN HOGANI 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.
BEN HOGANPlacing the ball in the right position for the next shot is eighty percent of winning golf.
BEN HOGANCertainly, if you can’t manage your game, you can’t play tournament golf.
BEN HOGANI play with friends, but we don’t play friendly games.
BEN HOGANAll other things being equal, greens break to the west.
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 HOGANI hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It’s like a rattlesnake in your pocket.
BEN HOGANJesus Christ can’t hit a golf ball straight. It’s virtually impossible – at best it’s an accident.
BEN HOGANI’m glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.
BEN HOGANGolf was my life. I didn’t want to give it up. So I went to work!
