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.
I crack jokes and play games and that's really more my nature than being cold.
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.
Wherever we play golf, people come out here to get autographs. They obviously come out to watch us play and see us in action, but they also want to interact with us.
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.
If you drag your shoe a bit those plastic spikes or rubber spikes can be almost as bad as metal spikes.
We are all human beings with our own little knick-knacks and ways of doing things.
We are in the entertaining business, they want to get autographs, they want to take something home, whether it's a signed hat or, you know, program or whatever it might be.
It's just a matter of hitting the ball where I want to hit it and hopefully making some putts.
I grew up in the time of Germany after the war.
