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.'
guys hit hitting watching
Watching guys hit the long ball, and hitting the long ball, is intoxicating.
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.
beautiful course fun hit plus tranquil
What makes this course fun is you hit all your shots, which is great. Plus it's a beautiful course in a tranquil setting.
bad biggest both deal eight great helps hit knows left partner putting require requires rubber shot tough trying whether
It helps a great deal because I know what he can do and he knows what I can do. We both know that if we both hit a bad shot we are not going to feel like we have left our partner stranded. The tough thing about alternate-shot, whether it is here or in the Ryder Cup, is stranding your partner. It is like you are putting them out on a rubber dinghy with one oar. But you know what, we are all trying. As they say, 'life doesn't require you to be the biggest or the best, all it requires of you is to try.' And all eight of us are going to be trying our hardest.
arnold competition couple cup familiar format forward franklin great hero hit looking might norman offers partner played playing putt shark shot type understand
I am very much looking forward to it. I am very familiar with this type of format from playing in Ryder Cup competition before. I have played this competition with Arnold before when we played in the Shark Shootout. When Greg Norman had his first couple of Franklin Templeton Shark Shootouts we had a straight, pure, alternate-shot format in one of the rounds, so I understand it and there is strategy. But it also offers opportunities for you to be the hero. At any one time, your partner might not hit a great shot or he could hit a great shot you can make the hero putt or make the hero recovery.

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.
