My failures have made me look at myself in a way I've never wanted to before.

I didn't have many ups and downs, and I just tried to par every hole.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

Younger guys now are all working out, and you find that if everyone's doing it and you're not doing it, you're going to be left behind.

People don't really bother me as much as you might think.

I made my share of mistakes. People can look at that as what not to do, and if they choose to make fun of it, that's fine. I can't control that. All I know is that I can control myself. And at that point in my life, I wasn't even able to do that.

I think that in itself, if you're a true golfer, you'll see specific things you need to work on. Much cheaper than private lessons.
