balls best develop dome good hit six somewhere three
Six guys, three bedrooms. If you want to see how good you can become, you have to go somewhere you can play year-round. We hit balls in a dome in college. That's not the best way to develop your game.
beginning foremost forget goal huge throw
It's a huge goal of mine. It was at the beginning of the year. It's still foremost in my game, but when it comes to the first tee, I try to throw it away and just forget about it and go about my business.
davis experience good hitting played putting start
I've played a lot with Davis and he's pretty simple. When you're hitting it as good as he is, and you start putting it good, it's a good combination, especially with the experience he has.
absolutely display lead missed perfect shot whether
He is doing absolutely everything right. I can't think of a missed shot he hit, really. ... It was a display of just -- whether you have a lead or don't have a lead -- of perfect golf.
pedal
You've got to pretty much put the pedal to the medal.
tearing wondering
I thought that I was going to get a place somewhere. But with (Housing) tearing down the Towers, I'm wondering where they'll put everybody.
couple experience good guy hard hitting missed putt starting
When you're hitting it as good as he is, and starting to putt decent, it's a hard combination especially with a guy who has as much experience as he does. I feel good about how I played. I missed a couple putts on the back, but that was probably about it. No regrets.
good green guys hitting middle shots time
We just weren't hitting very good shots and those guys were hitting it right down the middle of the fairway and the middle of the green all the time and we (were) not.
hard-work practice goal
Goal setting will never stop. I will continue to work hard and practice hard and see where things go.
growing-up numbers water
Elmcrest CC, in Cedar Rapids, is where it all started when I was growing up. The tree-lined course has a very demanding layout that requires you to be accurate off the tee and avoid a number of well-placed water hazards on some of the holes.
calm deal free peace perspective
I'm a Christian guy, and when it comes to my priorities, it's the utmost. For me, just to calm myself down, to keep my perspective when I'm playing, to not make too big a deal of it... that's where I go to. The peace that comes with that allows me to play free golf.
formed golf open power resort shoot skilled soccer space sports using versus
Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that's all I can do. It's the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.
community game great johnson platform wife
The Zach Johnson Foundation, for my wife and I, is very much a part of what we do and why we do what we do. It's a great platform for us to give back to the community that started me in the game and other communities.
discovered holy honestly meant work
I discovered what it meant to 'live for Christ,' and that it honestly was something I wanted to do. The facts were there, and I could sense the Holy Spirit at work.
