You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning so I could hit balls. I'd be at the practice tee at the crack of dawn, hit balls for a few hours, then take a break and get right back to it. And I still thoroughly enjoy it. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply - when anyone is - it's a joy that very few people experience.

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.

I could not wait for the sun to come up the next morning so that I could get out on the course again.

I play with friends, but we don't play friendly games.

Like most professional golfers, I have a tendency to remember my poor shots a shade more vividly than the good ones.

I don't believe there is anything like a natural golf swing. A golf swing is an unnatural thing, and it has to be developed.

There's no set time or schedule for developing one's skills as a professional golfer, and it certainly doesn't come overnight. It's a muscle-memory exercise that comes over time.
