Brushing up on your short game at the practice area is fine and good, but taking it with you to the golf course - when your score is really on the line - is another story.

Their plan is to bring the course back to where they used to play the shots into the greens in the '60s and '70s. We've just got to give it time and see where it goes.

Basically it's the only sensible course of action, so that I can be sure of the promptest recovery period.

You can't really look at the rest of the field. You have to play the golf course and play your score and try and put something decent on the scoreboard and hope that it is good enough.

It's really unbelievable. It's the only course we play that you have to aim away from the holes.
