kids golf knowing
My kids have grown up knowing nothing other than me being gone all the time and playing in golf tournaments. That's what they know.
character golf games
The vast majority of golfers don't go on to play golf as a profession, but they do go onto other professions where there will heat on them from time to time. Some people choke under pressure. If you have that as part of your character - that you don't perform well under pressure - it's really important for you to know that. The game teaches you about that.
nice golf player
A beginner gets so excited when he hits the ball in the air or maybe hits a nice bunker shot. A player who has won major championships doesn't get that excited about those shots anymore. It takes a lot more to excite you. The closer you get to perfection, the more difficult it becomes. That's what draws me to golf. It's such a challenge.

winning race hands
That the win came only days after the Ryder Cup announcement was not a coincidence. Being a captain's pick is a huge honor, and I was very flattered by that, ... but once the Ryder Cup race was over at the PGA, I felt as if there was a burden lifted and I was able to focus on what was at hand this week.

golf thinking games

swings clubs green
You have to just forget about the ball and swing the club. It's hard to see if you don't hit the green.
beach real home
If St. Andrews is the home of golf, I think Pebble Beach feels like the home of American golf, like the home of championship golf. It has a real sense of history here.
golf practice games
You play the golf course just like you played it in your practice rounds and you stick to your game plan and just try to get whatever you can out of it.
affected balls clubhouse course finish golf hitting major might monday morning played seen tough
I thought he'd be hitting balls Monday morning at the golf course, because it's a tough course to finish on and it's a major championship. If anything, just him being there at the clubhouse and being seen might have affected the way they played on Monday.
accustomed feeling mental
I was accustomed to feeling that I was better than the other guys, that I had a mental edge,
lots wind
If the wind doesn't blow, I think there will be lots of birdies,
definitely gone might relate sting win
It's definitely something I can't relate to, what he's gone through this year, and, hopefully, I'll never have to relate to it. But to get him a win here might take some of the sting out for him.
