I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that, I thought golf writers got up every morning, played a round of golf, had lunch, showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.

A great shot is when you pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it.

I have not found my perspective on my career change. What I have found is that my life in general has been more fulfilling. To be able to influence an individual's life and on who they become as a person is a very rewarding feeling.

It should almost be a prerequisite to play Castle Stuart before you're allowed to design golf courses nowadays.

It'll be nice not to have to use my fake IDs anymore.

I would rather try a shot to win than play safe and finish second.

My style of play won't ever change, because I enjoy that aggressive style of golf. It allows me to play my best. When I attack pins, I stay more focused. I get more into the shot and, consequently, I get more out of the shot and out of my game by playing aggressive.
