He's got an overall flair for the game. It looks to me like he really loves what he does and he can't wait to get up in the morning, go hit some balls and go play.

In Valdosta, Ga., during a mini-tour event, a player named James Black bet me $20 he could put five golf balls in his mouth and then close his mouth all the way. I tried it but could get only two in there.

Golfers don't scream. Golfers just adjust the pleats in their pants and go from there. That's about as antagonistic as we get.

I wanted to be an announcer that spoke to the everyman. I did not want to be a golfer who held his abilities above the audience. I wanted to talk to them, not down to them. There are 30 million golfers out there and they all suck. So I'm just going to tell them how bad I am and how good these guys are and have fun with it.

That would kind of level the playing field.
