Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing.
Ben Hogan

Show me a man who is a good loser and I'll show you a man who is playing golf with his boss.
James Patrick Murray

So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I've got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that's the way I'm going to take it.
Greg Norman

Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.
Robert Redford

Stan said he used to keep Hardy late, make him miss his golf game, and really get him mad.
Dick Van Dyke

Bernhard Langer

That's what makes the Ryder Cup in golf so much better than the Masters or the U.S. Open. To be a part of something that is not about personal achievement, but about representing everyone and sharing it with the whole country, it's wonderful.
Scott Hamilton

That's why we have practice rounds. We make the adjustments as we go around, try and find out how to play the golf course the best we can. No big deal, it's nothing to me, it's the same for me as it is to everybody and we're all trying to understand it.
Greg Norman

The beauty of golf, you're in charge out here.
Mike Weir

The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie.

The game of golf doesn't come rushing back to you. Last week I made a couple of fundamental mistakes that I probably wouldn't have made in the heat of the battle back when I was in my heyday, and those things have got to come back.
Greg Norman

The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
Ernest Hemingway

The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.
Will Rogers

The majority of people who buy homes in golf course communities don't play golf. Golf is way down at the bottom in terms of total numbers and growth.
Ed McMahon

The object of golf is not just to win. It is to play like a gentleman, and win.
Phil Mickelson

The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so I could afford to hunt and fish.
Sam Snead

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
Billy Graham
