ball cannot coming face front hole leave putt rather
A putt cannot go in the hole if it's short. I'd rather face a four-footer coming back than leave the ball on the front lip.
ball carry face hold instead open popping release shot square target toe toward turn uphill
It may be the most misunderstood shot of all. I play the uphill shot with a square clubface (rather than an open face) and let the toe turn over and release through the ball (rather than hold the face open). That way, the ball will carry toward the target instead of popping up short.
bumped difficult faced hitters short shots
They've really bumped any short hitters out of consideration. It's more difficult for shorter hitters. The shorter hitters are faced with a lot of improper shots into greens.
When you don't make a bogey, you're happy,
arnold ball bit carried early jack maybe names palmer played sam senior tour
This tour is name-driven, always has been and always will be. Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead carried the ball on the early part of the Senior Tour and they made it work. Then we had (Lee) Trevino come on and Jack (Nicklaus) played a little bit. We have to try a little bit harder, because maybe we don't have the names of that type.

You hear that winning breeds winning. But no winners are bred from losing. They learn that they don't like it.

Bruce has been a good friend, a good companion and we've been a good team. He's also got a great sense of humor.

I got it going pretty good today and overall the week was pretty good. Now I'm going home and rest.
chance hit perfect shoot shot swing time win
I'd like to shoot 59 before I'm 59. I've shot 60. I'd like to win the PGA, but I think that chance has passed. I'd like to hit a perfect shot each time I swing a club.
chance hit perfect shoot shot swing time win
I'd like to shoot 59 before I'm 59, ... I've shot 60. I'd like to win the PGA, but I think that chance has passed. I'd like to hit a perfect shot each time I swing a club.
I don't know what it is. I'm not in David's head.
best bit driver great worried
I'm a little bit worried about the driver. That driver was really a great driver, the best driver I ever had in my life.
aspects guess
So I guess those two aspects kind of counter-balanced each other. It was an adventurous round, let's put it that way.
