Golf is difficult to get your personality over because you are such a bottle of concentration.

Golf is played between the ears and if you are not 100 percent focused on what you are trying to do, then people will go past you no matter who you are.
Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It's about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.
It's such a psychological and mental game, golf, that the smallest wrong thing at the wrong time can distract you from what you're trying to achieve.
Golf is the hardest game in the world. There is no way you can ever get it. Just when you think you do, the game jumps up and puts you in your place.
The mental aspect of golf is what makes golf such a great sport.
Golf can be tougher than tennis when things go wrong, because you can't explain things by saying that your opponent played better than you. It's a cruel sport in that way.
I think one reason people play golf is it allows them to obsess about something other than the daily crap. It takes your mind off that.
One thing that golf teaches you is humility.
Golf is a game to me. Other players work extremely hard all year long. I work hard before Augusta. I know I get good results when I practice, but it also wears me out. It literally wore me out even when I was in my 20s.
I always say golf's a really good exposer of a player's personality.
