boys change few guess
A few of the old boys are thinning out. It's a shame, but I guess it's going to happen. It will change the atmosphere.

Ambience. It's one of the few places that's got it.

I'm sure they can start getting the roads moved around on the outside. I'm sure they got the power to do that. Buy a few houses.
avoid ball champions few friday heat home honestly jump major paper past paying playing saturday seven straight time
It's all about playing in the heat of the battle. You can do well in a major but you can jostle through and avoid the real pressure. To be in there leading, going home Friday and Saturday with the lead, it's a different ball game. We'll find out about Luke. On paper he's got the lot, but I honestly feel there are very few who would jump straight in without doing your time out there. Most past champions have all had seven to 10 years of paying their dues. It's like any major profession, like qualifying as a doctor.

Jack's still a great competitor, he understands the strategy of the course. I would have thought that would be a good draw for Luke.

This is pro golf now. Driving it long and straight is obviously a serious advantage. There are still ways to get around it and this golf course, if it plays dry and firm a regular hitter will still have a great chance this week.
drunk high pair
I'll get him drunk at high altitude. Or put a pair of skis on him.
problem
I just don't know what his problem is.
competition type
I never had conversations with a lot of guys. I wasn't a small-talk type of person in competition -- that's my makeup.
grown laughing pine smiling trees walking
I'll be smiling and laughing 10 or 20 years from now, when all the pine trees are grown up. They'll be walking down the fairway like this.
