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 weird sport. Some days you got it. Some days you don't.
In football, it's the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more.

I just go out there and play the game; I get on with things. Golf is not everything in life.
A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport. Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in.

How can you get tired of playing golf?
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.
