guys looking
At least I can see the leader. There are a lot of guys right there. If you're looking at one person, you're probably going to be looking at their brake light. You've got to get really aggressive. You'd better not be looking back.
aggressive familiar played pleased positions second time
It's only the second time I've played it and I'm not real familiar with the positions from which I should play and how aggressive I can be. But I'm very pleased with the start.

It was a very comfortable distance. The lie was a little tight and the ball was above my feet. I needed to hit it solid and I hit it heavy.

I relish the challenge of playing and going out at the age 60 to play like I did when I was 50.

In this kind of weather, I'm extremely pleased with the way my body performed. I didn't make a lot of putts, so there was some frustration. But I don't think I was alone out there. Still, I was pleased with the round.

course easy good greens looks tear
I think 66 over here at Del Monte is a good round. It looks like a course you can tear it up, but it's a test. The course is not as easy as it looks. There are some greens that can give you problems.
front frustrated gotten nine par played rounds second shot
I played as well on the front nine as I've played in many, many years. I should have gotten more than 3 under par out of it. Then I got frustrated on the second nine and shot 1 over. This was one of those rounds that could have been really, really low, but I couldn't make any putts.

I really didn't know what was going on until I got to 16. Then I saw I had the lead with Bob. I knew something was going to happen in the last two or three holes.
change course golf help life means mold positive taken
In this case, golf is a means to an end. We can't change the course that someone's life has taken in the past, but through golf we can help mold that life and give it a more positive feeling.
build hit room trying
I didn't hit it like I should have. Trying to play at the hole, yes, but you have to build in a little room for error, and I didn't build in enough.
