given
I guess I have never been much of a complainer. You just take what is given you, and don't complain about what you can't affect.
I always could putt. Part of my makeup, I always could putt.
game
Golf is a game of ego, but it is also a game of integrity: the most important thing is you do what is right when no one is looking.
conditions good ideal played scoring wind
The scoring conditions were ideal with no wind and I played well today. It was a good ball-striking day but I could have putted a little better.
condition course design great needs played strategy
If a course needs to be in great condition to be played effectively,then the design strategy is flawed.
came cream crop dominated last open player reason year
Hale has dominated this tour. Probably the only reason I came out of last year as Player of the Year was because Irwin's back went out on him at the U.S. open and he couldn't play for a while. He's the cream of the crop out here.
bad playing
That's one of the things you get when you're playing golf. You get bad backs, bad necks.
spine swing violent
The golf swing is a violent swing. You twist, and your spine is under continual stress when you're making a golf swing. Your neck, your spine, your hands, your knees, everything.
bulbs burn consistent headlights tend vehicle
Your headlights and all the other bulbs in your vehicle see a very consistent voltage. You don't get the voltage spikes that tend to burn out bulbs and shorten their lives.
mayor running step viable voters
I'm running for mayor because someone has to step up and give voters a viable alternative.
gonna
I'm not gonna get it close. I'm gonna make it.
compete months winter
That's what I'm out here to do. Compete and win. It makes the winter months a whole lot better.
bumped hitters short
They've really just bumped any short hitters out of the championship consideration equation.
bumped difficult faced hitters short shots
They've really bumped any short hitters out of consideration. It's more difficult for shorter hitters. The shorter hitters are faced with a lot of improper shots into greens.
