Answer 1

What does golf do you for you?

It's my escape.  I get away from the "real world" and go out there and play like nothing else in the world matters.  It's like I live and die on the next shot.

How does it make you feel?

It gives me the greatest feelings in the world and the worst feelings in the world.  Golf is so great because you can go from an incredible birdie or amazing par save to an embarrassing double or triple bogey on the next.

How do you go after it?

I take it seriously.  After playing competitively since I was 12 years old, I can't go out and just have fun anymore.  I try to get better and better everytime.  If your not improving, you're getting worse.

Why do you play?

I play because it's the greatest game ever, and it's more than just a game.  It's an entire lifestyle.  Golf is a drug, a very addicting, powerful, but satisfying drug.

Why is golf the greatest game ever?

It causes you to use both your body and your mind.  Golf is 90% or more between your ears.  It's a thinking man's game.  You have to battle the course and yourself (your inner demons); there's nothing else like it.

How do you go about playing better?

Practice, practice, practice...I spend lots of time on the range and practice greens to try and keep every aspect of my game as sharp as I can.

Does it relate to your daily life off the course?

Absolutely, the morals, honesty, integrity and other values that the game teaches can be applied to family life, personal life, and especially in business.  Golfers have a common bond off the course that others who don't play can't relate to.

What would you do if you didn't play golf?

Thank God that I really don't have to answer that question because we have golf.  I can't imagine my life without golf a part of it.
