105 Quotes by Ben Crenshaw

A good golf course makes you want to play so badly that you hardly have the time to change your shoes.

I'm about five inches from being an outstanding golfer. That's the distance my left ear is from my right.

Length is always going to get its due. Playing shorter clubs into these greens makes a huge difference, I can assure you. But, really, no matter how long or short the course plays, you have to deal with these greens. They have been the main defense of this course, and always will be. I hope they never change, because they are fascinatingly complex.

So in the summer of 1968, a young golfer from Texas experienced something that would forever change his life. Not only did I fall in love with formal tournament competition, but I was enraptured with so many other facets of the game; the different courses, the people,the history and traditions.

I wish to say it was different, but it's doubtful.

I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me.

I am disappointed. I didn't execute shots. I'm going to try to retrieve this round and have a good back nine.

But the shot has to be perfect. The target is very small.

I felt like I had a few miracles happen out there. But I played fairly solid. I was as patient as I could be.
