Swinging a gold club is sort of a throwing action, and even as a kid, I could throw things far and fast.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
I was 11 years old and have the same curveball I have now. So I was literally striking everybody out. I always threw hard, and I was bigger than all the kids, so I would throw hard and throw that curveball, and no one could hit me.
Swinging harder with a longer club almost always leads to bad shots.
It's hard to believe a kid hitting golf balls in the cow pastures of New Mexico could have accomplished what I have accomplished.
When I'm swinging well, nobody hits the golf ball any better than I do.
I've been playing golf as long as I've been dancing, since I was 13 or 14.
I found out early in life that I could hit a baseball farther than most players, and that's what I tried to do.
I never had the opportunity to pick up a golf club in school, and I think it is a cool thing for kids. Getting clubs in kids' hands is the only way to grow this game.
I swing hard all the time. That's what I've done my whole life - hit.
At 19, I was still figuring out how to throw a fastball.
