Golf doesn't really have many big guys.
I'm about five inches from being an outstanding golfer. That's the distance my left ear is from my right.
And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense.
In golf, as in life, you get out of it what you put into it.
I've studied golf for almost 50 years now and know a hell of a lot about nothing.
I do a lot of running, and I do it every day. I run on a track, I run hills and I work the stair-stepper extremely hard. I do some type of cardio every day. In addition, I have a passion for golf, and that helps me stay fit, too.
I've got a good game plan... keep things simple with my golf swing.
I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.
Golf tips are like aspirin. One may do you good, but if you swallow the whole bottle you will be lucky to survive.
My doctor asked me how many golf balls I had hit in my career. I'm lying there in bed calculating somewhere between four and five million golf balls I had hit to do that on my body.
There are no short hitters on the tour anymore - just long and unbelievably long.
There are so many aspects of the game that you can work on - you can drive it father, you can drive it straighter, you can hit your irons higher and more consistently, you can get better with your wedges, and you can always putt better. There's never an end to that striving to get better in golf.
The top golfers in the world are like Formula One cars when it comes to their swings.
[Golfers] are a special kind of moral realist who nips the normal romantic and idealistic yearnings in the bud by proving once or twice a week that life is unconquerable but endurable.
Golf is flexibility, and I notice more guys injured. You can overdo this conditioning.
In golf, advice is not a big thing. If you don't have the ability, you won't get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn't mean much to me.
Practice, work out, proper nutrition, lots of work on my short game. In golf, that's really where the strokes come off the scorecard.
Over the years, golf has evolved from a leisurely game of stick and ball into a competitive sport for highly skilled athletes. Players not only spend countless hours fine-tuning technique on the course, but also improving strength, stability, and endurance in the gym.
Golf is really tricky. I feel like you either have to be a broadcaster, or a professional golfer or a golf instructor. If you're not one of those things you don't really fit in the game.
I used to read every golf magazine front to back; I was addicted to Golf Channel, read Rotella, read every golf book.
To be a professional golfer in the 21st century, you must be an athlete.
If I could be like Happy Gilmore or Kyle Berkshire, hitting over 400 yards and hitting it straight? That is a massive, massive advantage. So I set out to do that, and I've been healthier and stronger ever since.
Golf is a game to me. Other players work extremely hard all year long. I work hard before Augusta. I know I get good results when I practice, but it also wears me out. It literally wore me out even when I was in my 20s.
