I've had it with the USGA and the way they run their tournaments. The USGA loves to embarrass guys who play in their tournaments.
We get three of the Ball boys on the Lakers together, and we gonna go championship, championship, championship, championship, championship.
The only times you touch the ball with your hand are when you tee it up and when you pick it out of the cup. The hell with television towers and cables and burrowing animals and the thousand and one things that are referred to as 'not part of the golf course'. If you hit the ball off the fairway, you play it from there.
You've got to have one of those guys on your ball club that, when you have runners on scoring position, you know that guy is going to drive the ball and put the ball in play and pick them up.

It's only when the ball is sitting down in the sand that I'll make some modifications.

You still have to be able to throw the ball and play good defense to win a championship.
I just do my best to put the ball in play and put it in play where no one's going to make a play on it and hopefully drive some runners in.
When I'm dead and gone and my dad is dead and gone, he and I will share a championship with the last name Elliott forever. I don't think it gets any cooler than that.
My golf score is really bad. I don't know. I'm definitely not a good golfer. Off the tee box, I can drive it about 275, and I'm in the fairway about 99% of the time. It's my next shot that needs work.
They're fighting for the championship, that's not a coincidence: I believe they have developed as a team. They've become much stronger, the squad is more balanced. And they still play the way Arsenal always play. They want to have the ball, they like playing it short, and they have outstanding individuals.
