I still enjoy what I do. I haven't been playing much golf and none since I dislocated my shoulder, but I come to the office every day.
I've drawn a lot of inspiration from people who have supported me, golfers who have helped me. If it wasn't for the game of golf I'd probably be mowing the greens back in Latrobe.
Hell, who knows? ... Maybe even my golf swing will get better.
Sex, ... Golf excites me. My life. My wife. All the things that I do. Every day, I'm endeavoring on something different, something new. It's fun. It's challenging.
When I was playing in a junior tournament one time, I missed a short putt and threw my putter into the trees. I went on to win the tournament and later, instead of my dad congratulating me, he told me that if I ever threw a club again, I'd never play in another golf tournament. I haven't thrown a club since.
I think the people I have met have meant a great deal to me, more than any shot I ever hit. I will always remember some golf shots, but others I would like to forget.
I am so pleased with my golf course. I am to say that it's the best I've ever seen it - without equivocation.
A golfer has to have mixed feelings about shooting his or her age. It's an exciting day when and if it happens, but it also means that you have to be up in years.
Peter and I have been good friends for a long time and we've played a lot of golf together, in competition and otherwise. It's a relationship that has been ongoing for many, many years and once again, to have the opportunity to play as we will, it's going to be fun. I just hope I can keep him from being embarrassed by my poor golf.
That should be classified as one of the major championships,
It's become easier and easier every year since then.
Many people don't know that I experienced a blood clot caused by deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, which is when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the body, often the leg or thigh. I'm fortunate that my DVT was diagnosed and treated before it led to something even more serious and that's why I encourage people to talk to their doctor if they think something is wrong. I've teamed up with Janssen Pharmaceuticals to raise awareness about blood clot prevention and treatment.
I'll tell you how optimistic I am: I've been married less than a year, and I'm building my wife a new house, ... She's putting in all these things to keep me going, and rocking chairs are one of them. But I'm not going to use them for a while.
I love the place, but now I'm not so sure. There are some things that are taking the realistic Augusta away. It's changed dramatically from the course I've known the last 50 years.
