accept change course fact golf good grown helped helps learn move people players popularity stays
Most of the players have grown to like the course more and more. I think it helps that we don't change locations. The Players has grown in popularity because it stays in Jacksonville. The fact the Players Championship doesn't move around has helped people accept the golf course. If you want to be a good player, you'd better learn to like it.

I didn?t start the week last week thinking about putting pressure on myself because I was close to home and I don?t want to do that this week, but I want to be prepared. I?ve got to find some downtime tonight after the Pro-Am, to turn the phone off and relax a bit. I?ll be ready.
bad blend full guys looks mechanics nice pace putt routine worry
He looks comfortable over putts and to me, he doesn't take as long to putt as he does full shots. His routine is consistent. He's got a simple-looking stroke, with nice pace and flow, a blend of mechanics and pace. But I always think guys who putt well are more fearless. They don't worry about the three-putt or the bad putt. They don't take that with them.
break reads
But, really, I don't plumb-bob a lot because I don't think it reads enough break into the putt.
