I crack jokes and play games and that's really more my nature than being cold.
Competition is healthy. It makes you work harder and strive for more and try to find that extra one or two percent in your game that you could possibly improve.
It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.
But when I play, I still practice hard and focus on my game.
We all know, the ones who play golf, know what a wonderful game it is and what a great past-time it is.
You know why the game of golf is popular? Very easy, it's a great game.
I'm still in shock. I started hitting double-crosses out here and you can't do that. I didn't hit another fairway the rest of the round.
We sat in the house thinking it wasn't going to be all that bad in Boca Raton, and it was bad - much worse than we thought. It was scary at times. I wish we had left. One tree fell on the roof against the house. When the storm blew the other way, the tree was gone off the roof. It was a big tree, nothing you can pick up with five men.
But I think the guys are very happy to accommodate the people and that's part of golf in general.
I like reading my bible, I like bible studies where I get together with others and talk about the word of God and how it relates to us and how we can change to become more like him.
So when I was told to work, ten, twelve hours a day as an assistant pro, I didn’t complain. It was normal.
There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.
You know, as you get older, the first thing you lose is memory. It seems to be happening with me.
I grew up a Catholic and I dont want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but theres a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.
