If there is one thing I have learned during my years as a professional, it is that the only thing constant about golf is its inconstancy.

Focus on remedies, not faults.

I never missed a putt in my mind.

I think my boys handled it pretty much the same way with their children, but my grandsons all ended up playing football or lacrosse.

That "I don't give a darn" attitude is probably why I've shot so many good final rounds over the years when I started the day a few shots behind with nothing to lose. . . and maybe that's why I've shot so many bad last rounds when I was ahead and knew I couldn't afford a mistake.

But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.

You're always struggling because you're not playing on a 53-and-a-third by a 120-yard field. You're not playing on a baseball diamond. With golf, every field is different and every atmosphere is different. The grass is different. The weather is different. You're outside. You're not in a stadium. There are so many different variables, so you never master golf. So, I think good athletes like a challenge.
