ball fun gradually hitting led swing worked
I gradually just worked on the swing and started hitting the ball better. That led to making some putts and that's been the key. It's just fun to go play again.
champagne girlfriend led night played rest rose song turned wrote
I blindfolded my girlfriend at night and led her into the woods, where I had a blanket, rose petals, champagne and candles. I played a song I wrote for her, and the rest of the night turned out great.
fun good led seems together
Just seems like one good thing's led to another. Everything has kind of come together at the right time. It's just fun to go out and play again.
golf
I like it. It's an old-style golf course.
close days good hit swing though took
It was just one of those days where even though the swing didn't feel as good as it could have been, it was good enough to hit some close shots. When I had the wedges in my hand, I took advantage.
either good hard hit hung par shot stay struggled tough tried trying
It was just one of those things, and I just never could get comfortable with the shot I had. I was either trying to hit it too hard or too easy. It's just tough to get it close, but I hung in there and just tried to stay positive. The good thing was I just struggled to make a par or bogey.
bad close missed
I missed the fairway on No. 1 and was only able to get it up there close to the green. You can get some bad lies.
bad coming felt rookie shoot signed sit won year
It was my rookie year and I pretty much signed up for every tournament. After I won it, it was one of those things where you had to sit back and just think about it. I didn't want to come in here and just shoot 80. Obviously, I felt bad for not coming here.
black both nice playing red
It would be nice to be playing with him and us both show up with red and black on.
course depending plays prepared ready
Depending on how the course plays tomorrow, I'll feel prepared and ready to go.
advance might miss three
You might miss three fairways the whole day, but you can't advance it more than 30 or 40 yards.
huge
If we didn't have a huge multinational corporation on our backs, we'd be golden.
felt good start
I got off to a good start and just felt comfortable all day.
events guys shoot wish
I didn't want to come in here and just shoot 80-80, say, 'See you guys later,' ... It was just one of those unfortunate events that happened, that I wish I could be here. From now, I'll be here in the future.
