One of the worst mistakes you can make in golf is trying to force the game.
If there is one thing golf demands above all else, it is honesty.
The holes are numbered.
A big part of managing a golf course is managing your swing on the course. A lot of guys can go out and hit a golf ball, but they have no idea how to manage what they do with the ball. I've won as many golf tournaments hitting the ball badly as I have hitting the ball well.
And, of course, I'm constantly energized by designing courses around the world.
I first saw Arnold Palmer when I was just a kid and he came to Columbus to play in a tournament. I watched him on the driving range hit balls that day. We went on to become great friends.
