I started changing my swing in late 1999.

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life - hit.

There have been nights I've stayed up late thinking about, 'What's wrong with my swing? What do I need to fix?'

I can remember back to my early tour days when some fellows didn't think I'd last too long. Nothing physical - they said it was my swing. Some said it was too much of a 'muscle swing' to stand the test of time. One fellow predicted I wouldn't get past 30 out there.

My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.

When I'm swinging the club at my best, it's because I'm not thinking about mechanics at all. I feel like my body is loose. My arms are soft in front of me when I'm setting up, and my chest and shoulders feel as if they can move and turn easily.

I think things hit me very hard, and I wish I had allowed things to roll off my back a little bit more.

With my divorce, and even during the end of my marriage before it even got publicly bad, how I decided to cope with things was to go on the treadmill for an hour.
