"The secret is in the dirt" -Common answer Hogan gave when asked how he played so well.
"All I know is, I've seen Nicklaus watch Hogan practice. I've never seen Hogan watch Nicklaus practice." -Tommy Bolt
"If you can't outplay them, outwork them."
"There's no reason a man can't birdie every hole."
"There's no such thing as a natural golf swing."
"There is no similarity between golf and putting, one is played in the air, and the other on the ground."
"I hate a hook. It nauseates me. I could vomit when I see one. It's like a rattlesnake in your pocket."
"The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball."
"The more I practice, the luckier I get."
"Ben Hogan is the most merciless of all the modern golfers." -Gene Sarazen
While waiting on the 1st tee, Hogan walked up to the player he'd been paired with the day before. "I'm sorry I didn't speak to you yesterday", he said. "But just so you're not surprised, I won't be saying anything today either."
"About all Ben ever said in a tournament was "Good luck" on the 1st tee, and "You're away" after that." -Sam Snead
