No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.
if you gone come in second, you’re just the first loser!
Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.
There’s always stuff to work on. You’re never there.
For many my behavior has been a major disappointment, my behavior has caused considerable worry to my business partners, and everyone involved in my business, but most importantly to the young people we influence, I apologize.
I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for – getting paid for doing what you love.
My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
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.
My dad used to say, ‘Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn’t influence your intelligence.’
I’d like to share my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.
If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.
There are golfers everywhere who may never get a chance to play a links course in Scotland, a tree-lined course in America or the sand belts of Australia. Hopefully I can bring some of those elements into their backyards.
The amount of meetings I’ve been in – people would be shocked. But that’s how you gain experience, how you can gain knowledge, being in meetings and participating. You learn and grow.
I will have to earn trust and respect from my kids.
Money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.
Hopefully I’ll continue to have the success I’ve had.
There’s no sense in going to a tournament if you don’t believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.
All that really matters is I have two beautiful kids, and I’m trying to be the best dad I can possibly be, and that’s the most important thing of all.
