It's going to happen at some point. And I'd like it to happen while I'm still playing Solheim Cup golf.

That's the deciding factor -- if you can quite the crowds on Sunday. You know the big roars are for the Americans. If we can keep them quiet and get up early, it's a big thing to keep the crowds under control.

children pain hate
Abuse manipulates and twists a child's natural sense of trust and love. Her innocent feelings are belittled or mocked and she learns to ignore her feelings. She can't afford to feel the full range of feelings in her body while she's being abused-pain, outrage, hate, vengeance, confusion, arousal. So she short-circuits them and goes numb. For many children, any expression of feelings, even a single tear, is cause for more severe abuse. Again, the only recourse is to shut down. Feelings go underground.

I loved radio for the music, concerts, parties and to think you could get paid for it.
domestic-violence abuse faces
Many survivors insist they're not courageous: 'If I were courageous I would have stopped the abuse.' 'If I were courageous, I wouldn't be scared'...Most of us have it mixed up. You don't start with courage and then face fear. You become courageous because you face your fear.
taken risk trying
It is worth taking the leap for something you have always wanted to do because until you try you'll never know. Through the experiences I have had and the risks I have taken, I have gained courage and confidence. I didn't start with the courage and confidence. I started with the risk.
