If you like the rest of us mere mortals, you can become at times confused with advice that we receive or from the golfing books that we read.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is one simple solution, just KISS. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now before the more amorous of you get carried away I am not talking lust and passion here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kiss stands for \u201cKeep It Simple Stupid\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When things get just a little too much for you and you are lost in the mire of bad golf and advice just remember this phrase and repeat it to yourself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With this in mind, below you will see some simple quotations from famous golfers and if you find that some of them \u2018ring your bell\u2019 then cut out this article and put it in your car or even your golf bag to act as an instant reminder of your golfing key thoughts for the next round.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAction before thought is the ruin of most of your shots\u201d \u2013 Tommy Armour (Open Champion 1931).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTime used intelligently for pre-shot decisions is never wasted\u201d \u2013 Max Faulkner (Open Champion 1951).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest challenge you face on the tee is changing your mind-set from the practise range to the course\u201d \u2013 Johnny Miller (Open Champion 1976).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGolfers find it difficult to turn at the waist, particularly if they have a lot of waist to turn\u201d \u2013 Harry Vardon (6 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGive me a man with big hands, big feet and no brains and I will make a golfer out of him\u201d \u2013 Walter Hagen (4 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt does not matter if you look like a beast before or after the hit as long as you look like a beauty at the moment of impact\u201d \u2013 Seve Ballesteros (3 times open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can talk to a fade but a hook won\u2019t listen\u201d \u2013 Lee Trevino (Open Champion 1971,1972).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAround, over and under trouble, let your imagination run wild\u201d \u2013 Sandy Lyle (Open Champion 1985).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference between a sand trap and water is the difference between a car crash and a plane crash, you have the chance of recovering from a car crash\u201d \u2013 Bobby Jones (3 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPar climbs for all golfers along with wind force\u201d \u2013 Jack Nicklaus (3 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember that you win more holes as a result of errors by your opponent than your own brilliant play\u201d \u2013 James Braid (6 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo really improve you have to sacrifice some of your playing time for practise time\u201d \u2013 Seve Ballesteros (3 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMatch your strategy to your skills\u201d \u2013 Arnold Palmer (Open Champion 1961,1962).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you hit a bad shot don\u2019t think about what you did wrong but concentrate on what you must do right on the next shot\u201d \u2013 Tommy Armour (Open Champion 1931).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI expect to make at least seven mistakes a round and therefore I don\u2019t worry about when I make a bad shot, it\u2019s just one of seven\u201d \u2013 Walter Hagen (4 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think that I could win every tournament that I entered BUT the other players did and this gave me an edge\u201d \u2013 Jack Nicklaus (3 times Open Champion).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
