course feels golf great hand rough small
It feels like you've got a wedge in your hand all day. It's great to see the rough up and small greens. But this golf course does feel awfully short.
ball course driving feels golf hand short tear
It feels like you have wedge in your hand all day. The golf course feels awfully short and if you are driving the ball you can really tear it up.
cuts frustrated golf good last missing month player playing since time
You know how frustrated I've been getting for the last month or so. I've been playing good golf but it has been a long time since I did any real scoring. I know I've been well but I've been missing cuts and I know I'm a much better player than that.

Monty was so easy to play with. He's pretty automatic in terms of hitting fairways and he makes all the putts.

It one-hopped right into the hole. It was a pretty good shot, but I think the hole got in the way a bit.

character course cruel feeling front game golf honest kicked laid nicely played rest today tough unfair
I played nicely today but 18 kicked me in the butt a little bit. It's a cruel game and to be honest I'm feeling pretty down right now. It's a really tough hole. I wouldn't say it was unfair but it's out of character with the rest of the golf course which is all laid out in front of you.
golf loss winning
There's kind of an unwritten rule, Don't call your captain out at a Ryder Cup, win, loss or draw, you just don't.
