When asked 'You really know your way around the course. What's your secret?' The holes are numbered.
The holes are numbered.
It allows somebody like myself, who is really not playing a whole lot of golf, to have some fun, play with some of my old friends, and have a little competition which I always yearn for.
I would like to know I shot under par, ... If I play again, then it won't make any difference. If I don't play again, at least my last round was under par. I had a chance to shoot a pretty darn low round, but I messed it up.
My biggest fear in coming here this week was that I didn't want to shoot a couple of 80-somethings,
Tiger's record may not be the best in the Presidents Cup, ... but I tell you what, he gets pumped up to play.
Darkness? You're going to have to ask a higher power. I don't have the answer to that question.
It was great for me because it felt like I actually had done something well and I hadn't prepared for it. I hadn't prepared for it like I did 10 years earlier when I would just be consumed by it.
They would be the only place that could.
It was like I could still summon what I had and still could use it coming down the stretch.
It was obviously a great week for me and an exciting week, one that was kind of fun to look back on. It's about the only television event when I see it come on television, I actually stop and watch a little bit of it.
It obviously meant a lot to a lot of people. It was special to the golfing world because they just didn't expect that to happen.
Through the years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.
As I sat down, Norman started making birdies. I got nervous, so I got up and started walking around. They didn't make as many birdies when I walked around, so I walked around the rest of the time.
