I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.
I play the Father/Son every year on the PGA TOUR Champions. I split it between Jackie and Gary as my playing partners.
Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don't let somebody else dictate your life's path.
The worse you're performing, the more you must work mentally and emotionally. The greatest and toughest art in golf is "playing badly well." All the true greats have been masters at it.
Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's level of aspiration and expectation.
Darkness? You're going to have to ask a higher power. I don't have the answer to that question.
It obviously meant a lot to a lot of people. It was special to the golfing world because they just didn't expect that to happen.
It was great for me because it felt like I actually had done something well and I hadn't prepared for it. I hadn't prepared for it like I did 10 years earlier when I would just be consumed by it.
They would be the only place that could.
It's the only TV show when I see it come on, I stop and watch a little of it. It seems like yesterday.
It was obviously a great week for me and an exciting week, one that was kind of fun to look back on. It's about the only television event when I see it come on television, I actually stop and watch a little bit of it.
They're going to tinker with it until they get it right. I'm sure they're as frustrated there as I am designing my golf courses ... They're doing the best they can.
The design business is a blessing, ... because it has allowed me to stay in a game I love. I'm going to be more selective about the projects I take in the future. I want fewer jobs, but I want to be more involved.
It was like I could still summon what I had and still could use it coming down the stretch.
