These are some of the best golf quotes I have heard…
- “The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.”
- “It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realise it.”
- “Some people think they are concentrating when they’re merely worrying.”
- “No putt is too short to be despised.”
- “Bad putting is due more to the effect the green has upon the player than it has upon the action of the ball.”
- “The moment the average golfer attempts to play from long grass or a or bunker from a difficult lie of any kind, he becomes a digger instead of a swinger.”
- “Too much ambition is a bad thing to have in a bunker.”
- “On the pace of a golf swing: “No one ever swung too slowly.”
- “Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.”
- On his belief in playing quickly overall: “Don’t give the ball time to get set. If you do, it may duck.”
- “Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course, the space between your ears.”
- “The enemy in golf is tension.”
- “If there is a watchword or slogan that a golfer should always remember is to avoid tension. His first position should be as natural and comfortable as he can possibly make it.”
- “You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.”
- “I have seen many good players attempt shots they should have known were impossible.”
- “The object of golf is to beat someone. Make sure that someone is not yourself.”
- “The best exercise for golfers is golfing.”
- “Golf is the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it.”
