For me personally, short game, bunker shots aren't too bad.
Golf is not a game of good shots. It's a game of bad shots.
Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball where it lies.
You need a fantastic memory in this game to remember the great shots and a very short memory to forget the bad ones.
When we get comfortable, we start relaxing, taking bad shots, especially me I take bad shots when I'm tired.
Life, as the signs in the liquor stores say, is too short to drink bad wine. And summer is too short to read bad books.
There's two facets of this game. You know, if I'm not making shots, OK, then I have to do something on defense. So if I'm missing shots or making shots, it doesn't affect my overall game.
Too much ambition is a bad thing to have in a bunker.
It's just a game. I love it. And yeah, I get frustrated, but I try to not let it get me too upset. I mean, I don't get upset over bad shots or anything like that.
Some players like to change clubs around the green to hit high or low shots. I play all of my short-game shots with my 54-degree sand wedge and change my ball position to hit it higher or lower. I think it's easier to learn one club than four.
I let the game come to me. I just try to read plays. I don't like taking bad shots. I want the best shot for the team.
I've been in some seriously bad places playing golf and it's just part of the game. You're going to hit bad shots, you're going to be in bad spots, and each course, when you learn it, you learn where not to go.
You probably don't hit as many fairway-bunker shots as you do the greenside ones, and that unfamiliarity might make you a bit nervous.
All of those guys who told me that I was too short and how complicated the game was, it is not that complicated. It is the same game I have always played.
Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right - I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.
There's times where I could take all the shots every time I touch the ball, but that's not me. I just play a team game and just take open shots.
Don't let your cool stand in the way of being soulful. Life is too short. Too short to hate. Too short to judge. Too short not to live for. Don't let anything or anyone get the best of you or your heart and mind. If you are going down... go down swinging, singing, and loving.
