Some sound advice, you'd think they would have been pretty successful if they followed it themselves!

The Bobby Jones one could have been written about me as a kid - evaluate the shot, realise you can't make it, and then try anyway!

#17 explains why we get miffed with slow play

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Whenever I get a bit of bad luck on the course I remind myself that 'golf was never meant to be fair'

So when it goes my way I know that Lady Luck has been smiling on me and that it wasn't all down to me.

As golfers we are programmed to block any good luck from our minds. Only bad/ hard/ tough and no luck stays with us

All brilliant observation. Love the Snead one most of all.

Why is it that after a good round I look back and could have done most of that stuff in my sleep but after a nightmare i may have been trying to climb Everest in flipflops? Knowing this stuff is one thing, consistency is hard. Really hard.

"You can win tournaments when you're mechanical, but golf is a game of emotion and adjustment. If you're not aware of what's happening to your mind and your body when you're playing, you'll never be able to be the very best you can be."


what you referring to Gareth?

I think it's a chipper.

Thank God for that! Sounds like something out of Dr Who's T.A.R.D.I.S!

Sorry Colin, I referenced the wrong post.

I was looking at the comment regarding Langer converting yards to meters.

 

[Crow]

Great wisdom, I particularly like Langer's.

If it wasn't for my bad luck on the course I'd have no luck at all

Don't know if its in the list, but my favourite is:
"The more I practise the luckier I get" think it was Palmer who said it.

 

[MashieNiblick]

Clearly Mac O'Grady (no.9) is a disciple of the great Sam Snead!

Like Payne Stewart's

"A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing."

Don't know if its in the list, but my favourite is:
"The more I practise the luckier I get" think it was Palmer who said it.

Yeah, great quote. I think it was actually Player after he holed a bunker shot at the Open (or another big comp) and someone in the gallery said it was lucky.

One of my favourites is from the great Walter Hagen, renowned for his amazing ability to scramble a par (which used to annoy Bobby Jones)

"Three of those and one of them still counts four"
