bad ball behind golf ground guy hit laughing looking playing stood swing took underneath wild
You see a lot of bad golf shots. I was playing with a guy once who took a wild swing with a 3-wood or something, and he hit the ground behind the ball and the divot flapped over the ball. He stood there looking down the fairway, and we were on the ground laughing because his ball was underneath the divot, and he didn't even know that he did not hit the ball.

Watching guys hit the long ball, and hitting the long ball, is intoxicating.

It is going to be right down my alley. These guys not only are my heroes, but they are also very, very close friends, and good friends. We will be giving each other the needle quite a bit. It is going to be one of the highlights of my golf career, I can tell you that.
finished guy hit jack looked putting scoreboard taking water
I was on the 15th tee. I just eagled 13 and birdied 14. Nicklaus birdied 10. I thought 'This is cool, Jack and I are now tied.' As I hit the water on 15, I looked over at the scoreboard and just as one guy was finished putting up the 'S-E-N' (in Jacobsen), the other guy was taking down the 'J-A-C.'

I knew something was very wrong as I played in the JELD-WEN Tradition and the Wal-Mart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach these past two weeks. My play was very poor, and my knee was killing me. I knew I had no other choice than to have surgery on my knee immediately.

I've always had a pretty quick focus and that's what is needed at this type of event. This event is tailor made for me and fits my style of play.

I wanted Jack Lemmon to make that cut at the AT&T as badly as I've ever wanted anything.
demeanor dominated game looking pattern players tried
You're looking at players right here who have dominated the game for 50 years. These individuals are the kind of players who I have not only tried to pattern my game on the course, but my demeanor on and off the course.

You never know what shot will count most in a skins game. We had a hard time getting anything going, but if a couple of shots go in here and there for us, we're right in it.
best game golf knows power short surprise
Loren is no surprise to me. He understands golf, and he knows he's not a power player. His short game is one of the best in all of golf.
