shot target
But the shot has to be perfect. The target is very small.
wish
I wish to say it was different, but it's doubtful.
change facets fall forever formal golfer history love summer texas tournament
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.
assure clubs course deal defense greens hope huge length main matter playing short
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.
fairly felt few happen miracles patient played
I felt like I had a few miracles happen out there. But I played fairly solid. I was as patient as I could be.
business hit low next root tree tried
I didn't have any business being over there. I was right next to a root and should have just chipped it out sideways. I tried to hit it low enough to get around the root, but it just popped up, hit the tree and went into the creek.
happy start time watching
There are a lot of us who are happy we've had our time and it's time to start watching a bit.
almost continue course fun great love matter nice seen takes week
Well, I'd love to continue to see (the course) dry. I think a super-long course would almost be a little too much, but I don't know. It's very remote, as I said (after the first round). I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun playing. I've seen some great things happen. That's always nice no matter what you're doing. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me this week.
ball change definitely help
We'll have to change gears. It's definitely going to help the long- ball hitters.
achievement cannot gotten imagine personal
There is nothing like it. You cannot imagine what it's like. It's a personal achievement and you feel like you've gotten through something very difficult.
greatest hole par reason road
The reason the Road Hole is the greatest par 4 in the world is because it's a par 5!
designed difficult hole par reason road
The reason the Road hole at St. Andrews is the most difficult par 4in the world is that it was designed as a par 6.
ball hitting
It's not something so much conscious. I really don't know. I'm just hitting the ball a little more solid.
crossed longer
It's crossed my mind. It won't be too much longer before I'm done.
