conditions golf good hard seemingly weather
It's seemingly a good golf course. You have to see it in different weather conditions and stuff. It's hard to even comment.
playing saying
It's the same as I've been saying for all the year. I'm playing well and not getting anything out of it.
brings health hip kept magic problems somehow thinking until
Even when he was 50 to 55, 57, 58, you kept thinking that magic he brings would somehow show up. It really wasn't until he had health problems with his hip and his back that it changed. That's the magic of Jack.
few nice past pieces together
It's nice to put the pieces together over the past few weeks,
softball sports motivation
Confidence comes from hard work. It comes from facing different situations and making putts. It comes from knowing you've worked on the right things, so when you get under the gun, you can execute what you've practiced.
player thinking giving
I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.
thinking people guy
And if people do like me, I think it's because I'm a stand-up guy.
mean want earning
I realize what it means to be financially comfortable, and I want to be that. But I'm lucky enough to be in that position. And I'm also careful. I save 38 percent of my earnings after expenses, before taxes.
swings gone problem
I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.
fun thinking guy
I may not look it when I'm playing, but I think I'm a fun guy to hang with when I'm relaxing.
player crowds hitting
I love hitting the ball, controlling the ball. And yeah, even the roar of the crowd. I enjoy the roar of the crowd probably less than some players and more than some. But I'm not out here to be a celebrity.
golf sides awful
I know the other side. I know what awful golf is.
thinking two feet
I didn't do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week.
play giving people
But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.
