ball bit climb confidence control decided due gained good grown hitter last learn length open
I was a pretty long hitter when I was younger. I was pretty wild, too. I had to learn to control the ball a bit more. Then last year, I decided to open up a bit more and I gained a good climb in distance. My length has grown due to some confidence in my swing, and some trusting. Once you get that, you can open it up a bit.
conditions golf good solid trying
Today, was just good solid golf all day, more trying conditions than yesterday, and I just made some good putts today,
birdie chip difficult fortunate four good green nice score shot sneaky thinking three walk
The par-five I made a nice little five-foot birdie putt. That was a sneaky one down the hill. Then I chipped in from over the back of the green on six. It was a very difficult chip and it went in. That was a very fortunate shot there because I really was thinking four would be a good score to walk away with, so three was a bonus.
beach bunch few golf good likely pebble players playing separate tiger unheard
To separate yourself from a bunch of other very, very good players -- more than likely playing some really good golf -- is going to be very difficult. What Tiger did at Pebble Beach a few years back was unheard of.
extending good relaxed tune
It's about extending that good play as long as you can. You are pretty relaxed out there and you are in tune with what you are doing.
dice extending good roll
It's about extending good play and extending a feeling. You know, roll of the dice a bit. You really can get on a roll.
good maybe
It's a good idea, though, ... Maybe I should try that out.
add ball blows brilliant chad fine good line looked looking nine places strokes three today wind
When the wind blows like it did on the back nine today it can add at least three strokes to your round. There can be a fine line between looking brilliant and looking like an idiot. But Chad put the ball in very good places all day. He looked brilliant.
bunch golf good level likely playing separate
That's just the level of play today. To separate yourself from a bunch of other very good players, more than likely you're playing some really good golf (or) it's going to be difficult.
ball club drove face golf good hit middle solid
Just good solid golf all day. I drove the ball well, hit the middle of the club face a lot of times...and here we are.
clean couple definitely fortunate good hit round score shots
I think that there was definitely a 6-under score had to be had out there by somebody. I was fortunate enough where my round wasn't clean and perfect, but there were enough shots where I hit it good enough to give myself opportunities and I had a couple of good breaks.
good hit
I hit it good enough to give myself opportunities. Could have been better, but could have also not chipped in and made some other stuff.
extra good solid steroids swing
Nothing unusual, no steroids or anything like that, just some good solid drive. If you swing technically better, you will get that extra 10 or 20 yards.
ball breaks chad good hit lucky spots
Chad had a lot of breaks and he hit the ball in the right spots at the right time. He did everything right and got the the breaks - not the lucky breaks, but the good breaks.
