They are polar opposites.  Harry Potter on one side and Lord Voldemort on the other.  We know all about one and nothing about the other.  They may be equally powerful, we just don’t know yet.

Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.
– Bobby Jones

A golfer is a sniper.  Studying a difficult pin placement and selecting the right club from his bag, he is a sharpshooter coolly preparing to pick off the madman who is holding the first grade hostage on the fourteenth green.

My Usual Game

When it counts, when something’s on the line just look down-the ground will tell you everything you need to know.  Out there, every time you look down, every time your eyes meet up with your divot, you’re lookin’ at a friend who speaks the truth.

Posting a number. It is a simple concept, but so many players never get the meaning of it. The hard truth is that when it comes to a scorecard, explanations don’t get posted; numbers do.

Ben Hogan’s advice to Kris Tschetter preparing for the Women’s U.S. Open

I want you to go out there and start by thinking about the green, where you want to be and how you want to get there, and then work your way back, practicing until you can make every shot.

Mr. Hogan The Man I Knew

The work that I have done has been done for amateur sport,

and I hope that you won’t mind if I leave you with my creed on amateurism.

Amateurism, after all, must be the backbone of all sport, golf or otherwise. 

In my mind, an amateur is one who competes in a sport for the joy of playing,

for companionship it affords, for health-giving exercise, and for relaxation

from more serious matters. As a part of this light-hearted approach to the game,

he accepts cheerfully all adverse breaks,is considerate of his opponent,

plays the game fairly and squarely in accordance with its rules,

maintains self-control, and strives to do his best, not in order to win,

but rather as a test of his own skill and ability. These are his only interests,

and, in them, material considerations have no part. The returns which amateur sport

will bring tothose who play it in this spirit are greater than those any money could buy.
