american-athlete create golf hitting millions natural touch
There is no such thing as a natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.
ball drive guys hit thrilling
The only thrilling thing about a long drive is if you can find it. There's a lot of guys out there that hit the ball a long way that are starving.
feels goes good hitting range shot
Every shot feels like the first shot of the day. If I'm on the range hitting shot after shot, I can hit them just as good as I did when I was 30. But out on the course, your body changes between shots. You get out of the cart, and you've got this 170-yard 5-iron over a bunker, and it goes about 138.
bed morning positive stay
I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it. I'm a positive guy. When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.
broke care children good lord religion remember takes test time wants
I remember the first time going to St. Jude. I didn't like going there because the children were ill, and it just broke my heart. It makes you test your religion when you see something like that. But the Lord doesn't want just old people. You know, He wants some young people, too, and good people. He takes care of them. He takes care of them.
business next opinions people remember third time
I keep lot of my opinions to myself. My grandfather, who was a gravedigger, told me one day, 'Son, the next time you go by the cemetery, remember that a third of the people are in there because they got into other people's business.'
ball changing curve felt good guys jack liked opening swing
Jack Nicklaus liked to curve the ball by opening or closing the clubface at address. I never felt I was good enough to do it his way. I didn't like changing my swing path, either, which some guys do.
ball behind club gets green hit inches six swing synthetic worst
Green synthetic practice mats are the worst thing for your golf game that I know of. You can hit six inches behind the ball and not even know it, because the ball still gets airborne. Practice nets are awful, too. Swing a weighted club instead.
guy money needs pull spreading
I just feel like I have when I started making a lot of money, I started spreading it out to people. Mickelson, the whole deal, the over-tip: if I see a guy that looks like he needs a hand out or something, I'll pull something out and give him something.
golf swings lunch
My swing is so bad I look like a caveman killing his lunch.
wine golf getting-older
The older I get, the better I used to be.
sports dollars dimes
Pressure is playing for ten dollars when you don't have a dime in your pocket.
golf thinking games
Golf is a game invented by the same people who think music comes out of a bagpipe.
sports husband golf
You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.
