I'm starting to hit it better and getting the range on my shots. If I get my putter going, watch out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
god hit hold
Hold up a one-iron and walk. Even God can't hit a one-iron.
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 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.
ball far game golf hitting knowing mechanics strike
I do not know any player, who could strike a golf ball like he (Norman) can, as far as hitting it solid, knowing where it's going, knowing the mechanics of the game and knowing what he wanted to do with the golf ball.
hitting balls natural
There is no such thing as a natural golfer but you become one by hitting thousands of balls
anybody beat best eight feels felt god power thank
I thank God I can play. I can't beat anybody but I can play. This is the best I've felt in eight years. I don't have any power but it feels good.
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.
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.
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.'
