golf sides awful
I know the other side. I know what awful golf is.
appreciation golf trying
I was in the middle of the golf tournament trying to make birdies and I was just having a blast. So that probably qualifies as having a greater appreciation.
player thinking giving
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.
thinking people guy
And if people do like me, I think it's because I'm a stand-up guy.
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.
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
I went to Q-school knowing that I could play well and get through.
change player thinking
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.
precious-things fragile
Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.
anxious bit bothering fully last starting takes tight week
I was a little tight starting out. Fortunately for me, last week and this week I haven't had my back bothering me. It takes me a while to get fully loose, and I think I'm a little bit anxious starting out.
barely deal dealt expect taken
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.
golf differences bottom
I've seen the bottom and I know the difference between good golf and bad golf.
golf serious needs
You do what you need to if you're serious about playing great golf.
