advantage ball course drive fall golf good great love putter understand
I will fall in love with any golf course that you have to drive the ball straight. You understand what I'm saying? That's my advantage. My advantage wasn't putting. In fact, I wasn't even a great putter or a good putter.
hit yards
Years ago I had a 1-iron I could hit 260 yards through a doorway. Now I can hit it through the keyhole.
You can't teach passion. You can teach everything else.
american-athlete hole
Pressure is when you play for five dollars a hole with only two in your pocket.
clubs point squeeze swing trying
My point is, there's no sense trying to squeeze something out of your swing if you can let your clubs do the shotmaking for you.
ball close fade guys hitting kept low pin playing pony putting turns
I always loved hitting a low fade to a back-right pin with the wind howling from the right. Not many guys could get it close in that situation, because they kept it low by just putting the ball back in their stance. You see, playing the ball back turns you into a one-trick pony - you can only hit hooks.
allowed everybody felt friend growing kids laughed mexican pool public ran seem swimming
Sure, I've felt racism. I think everybody has prejudice. When I was growing up, the dark Mexican kids weren't allowed in the public swimming pool in Dallas. My light-skinned friend got in, and he laughed at us. It didn't seem like a big deal, because we didn't know any different. So I never ran into anything that actually scarred me.
football hockey money raised
I don't know of any other organization that's raised more money than golf has, because if you are a baseball player, you're a football player, you're a hockey player, if you're just a businessman, and you want to raise some money for a charity, what do they do? They have a golf tournament. They have a golf outing, and they go out and they do it.
caddie good looking
Hey, if your looking for a dad-burn superstar, look at this kid. He was so good today, I wanted to caddie for him.
