I've somehow proved to myself there's a way around here. This has always been my favorite place.

As a golfer, you feel like you're perpetually on the rack [in foursomes]. Mentally, it's very difficult.

I am disappointed. I didn't execute shots. I'm going to try to retrieve this round and have a good back nine.

Jim could really get the job done. He could pick a course apart.

Length is always going to get its due. Playing shorter clubs into these greens makes a huge difference, I can assure you. But, really, no matter how long or short the course plays, you have to deal with these greens. They have been the main defense of this course, and always will be. I hope they never change, because they are fascinatingly complex.

[Among these players, fierce competitiveness is a given. But rather than being an obstacle to closeness, it can be the glue, as long as it's mixed with admiration, humor and good chemistry.] Everybody always wants to win, but it's never a problem among the people who make you feel like you did when you were all kids just playing a game, ... There can be no room for jealousy if there is true friendship.
