To play well you must feel tranquil and at peace. I have never been troubled by nerves in golf because I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In golf, you have to stay patient and calm. On the race track you can let loose, but in golf you can't and you must be calm.
I guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It's about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.
I feel the happiest when I'm at the golf course. And I feel calm when I'm on the golf course. I think I'm just a much better person when I'm on the golf course.
Golf is a spiritual game. It's like Zen. You have to let your mind take over.
I wasn't enjoying golf much. I was kind of getting a little bit tired, I was getting a little bit moody, and I was constantly getting angry. That's not me. And when I saw that I knew I had to change.
I'm a Christian guy, and when it comes to my priorities, it's the utmost. For me, just to calm myself down, to keep my perspective when I'm playing, to not make too big a deal of it... that's where I go to. The peace that comes with that allows me to play free golf.
How do I relax? Meditate, I guess. I quit golf. You twist your back and get all cranked up.
Your emotions are exposed when you play golf: humility, pride, anger, it all comes out with each swing. You lay it all on the line.
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
