I knew exactly how I wanted it to play, but you are never sure until you watch the projected images reflect off the screen. That's when you know it worked.

My on-the-court game was ordinary. I had a jumper but needed screens. I could go right but not left.

Once the referee throws the ball in the air, it's either your ball or their ball and you have to just take your shot.

If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.

You can't swing with hesitation; you can't try to steer the ball to the flag; you can't worry about that water hazard as you take the club back. You have to pick the right club, visualize the shot you want to hit, and then focus on that shot until the ball is gone.

The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.

I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

Ball position is everything in iron play. If you aren't careful about it, you can create some major problems in your game just by getting an inch or two off.

The biggest mistake is trying to pinch down on the ball and ripping out a big divot, often hitting the ground before the ball. You'll dig up some turf, but you won't create much backspin.

What happens off-screen definitely informs your performance on screen.
