Ball Quote by Viktor Hovland
“The golf ball doesn't care about know how hard you're working, or how many hours you slept that night. It only matters, what speed you put on the ball, where the face is pointing, and where it was hit on the face.”
About This Quote
Source Sports interview, Viktor Hovland, 2020s
The golf ball is indifferent to effort or fatigue. It only responds to three things at impact: speed, club face direction, and strike location.
In simple terms: Golf rewards good contact, not hard work alone.
