A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course.
Don't be too proud to take lessons. I'm not.
As long as I'm prepared, I always expect to win.
In 1979, when I was 39, I had such a bad year, I thought it was all over. Thankfully it wasn't.
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.
Who in the world remembers who won the 1975 Westchester Classic or the 1978 Western Open? Basically, the majors are the only comparison over time . . . played on the same courses for generations. All the best players are always there.
