pressure
We put a lot of pressure on them...with our speed.
act easy glad holes last playing putt relief tried
I?m just glad it?s over. I made it pretty easy on myself this week. I just went out there and tried to play 18 holes every day and act like I was playing with my buddies. It was a relief when that last putt went in on the last hole.
composed entire
It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.

rain broken car
I liked the rain. It made it harder, the harder the better. I didn't see accidents but there are a lot of broken cars out there.

almost basically everybody good green hit knock playing time
I will just go out there and have a good time and just keep doing the same thing I have been doing. Go out there, hit it in the fairway, knock it on the green and make the putt. Just another day of golf, that is the way you have to look at it. That is basically all you are doing, just playing golf. Almost everybody out here does it every day so you just have to think that way.
against good shot
We feel we'll have a good shot against Hesperia.
