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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
against beat came eventually hang moment playing proud respect tremendous
For me to hang with and eventually beat Hale Irwin is a proud moment for me. Hale and I have been playing against each other for a long time. When I came out on the tour, he was already an established star. I've got tremendous respect for Hale not only as a player, but as a person, too.

What makes this course fun is you hit all your shots, which is great. Plus it's a beautiful course in a tranquil setting.

He's got the best swing on Tour. He's the best conditioned athlete -- I think he's surpassed Tiger -- and he seems to want it the most. The guy's relentless.
