I think about what I say. I don't give stock answers. I'm not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do.
swings gone problem
I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.

I know the other side. I know what awful golf is.
play giving people
But just like I've always said when people complain about tee times, 'I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.
want wells tournaments
I'm content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I've had, but I know I'm playing well, so I'm happy with that.
school play knowing

A lot of players are slow to change, you're playing good,( you think) why do I want to mess with that ? It takes a lot of testing, a lot of practice and observation of the ball, especially under competitive circumstances, to realize this is a better product and I need to start using it.

Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.

I was a little taken aback by it. I could barely move. I didn't expect it at all. I'm very disappointed because I know how well I'm playing. To have to deal with that again, I've already dealt with it long enough, I don't want to anymore.

A little bit. Maybe not as much as I used to.

It's the same as I've been saying for all the year. I'm playing well and not getting anything out of it.
