I never underestimate my opponent, but I never underestimate my talents.
From Hale Irwin
If you're not just a little bit nervous before a match, you probably don't have the expectations of yourself that you should have.
I've felt that if you dwell too much on your errors, you're dealing in the negativity of things. I don't like that. I'd rather work on the positive reinforcement, the things I did well.
Feeling tired should almost never be an excuse, because your body has huge reserves of energy. But if you eat badly, stay out late, drink too much, and so on, you'll pay a price on the course.
My dad was a good athlete. My mom had longevity. There were some athletic genes that certainly got passed down.
People, in whatever walk of life, would be surprised if they just gave themselves a chance by believing in what they are.
People have to learn who they are - you can't have somebody else telling you who you are.
I can forgive the body breaking down. It's a little tougher to forgive that mental lapse.
I just never subscribed to the theory that at age 55, you fall off the face of the earth on the Tour. I always felt that was too young of an age for that.
Yes, I applied a lot of what I did in football to golf.
