Gene Littler Quotations

Golf is not a game of great shots. It's a game of the most misses. The people who win make the smallest mistakes.

They have these drivers now that have weights in the toe and in the heel, so that if you're slicing the ball, you slice it in the exact right place. We didn't have that. We used a lot of lead tape, and still do.

I remember it as a narrow course, where you had to hit the ball straight. It was a 'position' course, like those a lot of us old guys grew up on. That's the way I was brought up, learning to hit the ball to Point A before you can hit it to Point B. These days, it's just crunch-crunch.

Palmer was the big gun as far as getting the tour to where it is today. He was the most charismatic player ever. He did everything the public wanted him to do.

It never occurs to Arnold that the ball won't go in the hole, but I'm always surprised when it does.

I probably hit the ball as far today as I did 40 years ago. That just shouldn't be.

I don't like all the glory, hand-shaking and general run of things after a tournament.

I can't ever remember anyone winning a tournament like that.

Golf is not a game of great shots. It's a game of most accurate misses. The people who win make the smallest mistakes.
