arnold competition couple cup familiar format forward franklin great hero hit looking might norman offers partner played playing putt shark shot type understand
I am very much looking forward to it. I am very familiar with this type of format from playing in Ryder Cup competition before. I have played this competition with Arnold before when we played in the Shark Shootout. When Greg Norman had his first couple of Franklin Templeton Shark Shootouts we had a straight, pure, alternate-shot format in one of the rounds, so I understand it and there is strategy. But it also offers opportunities for you to be the hero. At any one time, your partner might not hit a great shot or he could hit a great shot you can make the hero putt or make the hero recovery.
count couple hard shot shots skins time
You never know what shot will count most in a skins game. We had a hard time getting anything going, but if a couple of shots go in here and there for us, we're right in it.
bunker bury designed elephants night three
You could bury three elephants in that bunker. I think Nicklaus designed that bunker at night.
enjoying fun love
It's as much about us enjoying you as it is you enjoying us. It's fun for us. I love this.
correct
Does that feel awful? Good, it's correct then.
demeanor dominated game looking pattern players tried
You're looking at players right here who have dominated the game for 50 years. These individuals are the kind of players who I have not only tried to pattern my game on the course, but my demeanor on and off the course.
beginning field fields paying players reducing start
I think it is wrong. I think the idea of paying players to play or reducing the field is ludicrous. I think when you start paying players and reducing fields that is the beginning of the end.
event fits focus needed quick style tailor type
I've always had a pretty quick focus and that's what is needed at this type of event. This event is tailor made for me and fits my style of play.
finished guy hit jack looked putting scoreboard taking water
I was on the 15th tee. I just eagled 13 and birdied 14. Nicklaus birdied 10. I thought 'This is cool, Jack and I are now tied.' As I hit the water on 15, I looked over at the scoreboard and just as one guy was finished putting up the 'S-E-N' (in Jacobsen), the other guy was taking down the 'J-A-C.'
event feeling kids means
I'm still not feeling that hot, but this event means so much for the kids, ... That's what it's really all about. For the kids, this is an important week.
great missing sloppy
Got off to a great start, then started missing fairways. Really sloppy on the back nine.
badly cut jack
I wanted Jack Lemmon to make that cut at the AT&T as badly as I've ever wanted anything.
sure
Sure I do. After all, I know Tonya Harding.
close giving golf good guys highlights needle quite
It is going to be right down my alley. These guys not only are my heroes, but they are also very, very close friends, and good friends. We will be giving each other the needle quite a bit. It is going to be one of the highlights of my golf career, I can tell you that.
