If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
The most difficult thing for me is keeping yourself focused on what you're doing. As you go play, you try to get your focus and desire. You don't do it to the level you would do it if you wanted to win. You have to work at it and be on top of your game.
I don't really have a problem saying good-bye to things. All things come to an end.
And, of course, I'm constantly energized by designing courses around the world.
My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.
Pete Dye introduced me to golf course design back in the 1960's. He came to my hometown Columbus, Ohio to work on The Golf Club.
