buddy dad decided found hockey missed recall skip time upset
The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away, so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it, but he found out from the coach.
running flames fire
I was not great behind the counter. I had a week off without asking for it. Another time, we had a cart go up in flames, and we went out on another cart, which we wrecked by running it into the cart that was on fire.
writing tennis balls
Anything over-handed, I do left-handed. Like throwing a ball or serving in tennis. Otherwise, right-handed, like writing and shaving.

Becoming the first Canadian male to win a Major Championship, especially being the Masters, was a dream come true.

You can be six behind on the back nine and still win the tournament.
nice play here-and-there
I have a lot of offers to play for appearance fees. It's nice gravy, but it's not a big motivating factor for me, to go here and there just for money.

As for my country, I don't live there, but obviously I'm very proud to be Canadian.

I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing.
silly moving looks
The course is going to make you look silly sometimes. You have to be able to accept that and move on.
