That's the difference between golf and many other sports. You go to some other sporting events, they just leave you or give you the cold shoulder and move on.Collection: Sports
But I think the guys are very happy to accommodate the people and that's part of golf in general.
Well, the memories were obviously - every match is important, every point counts, especially the last sort of 18, 20 years when the matches have been so tight.
Wherever we play golf, people come out here to get autographs. They obviously come out to watch us play and see us in action, but they also want to interact with us.
We are in the entertaining business, they want to get autographs, they want to take something home, whether it's a signed hat or, you know, program or whatever it might be.
Every player has the option to have metal spikes or other spikes or whatever they feel most comfortable in.
You can get some spiked up greens even with no metal spikes, it just depends.
If you drag your shoe a bit those plastic spikes or rubber spikes can be almost as bad as metal spikes.
You know, why the game of golf is popular? Very easy, it's a great game.
We all know, the ones who play golf, know what a wonderful game it is and what a great past-time it is.
I'm nervous when I play in the Masters or most other tournaments.
You know, as you get older, the first thing you lose is memory. It seems to be happening with me.
It's just a matter of hitting the ball where I want to hit it and hopefully making some putts.
But when I play, I still practice hard and focus on my game.
People who are friends with me and who know me, know a side of me that is totally not cold.
I crack jokes and play games and that's really more my nature than being cold.
You can't cover people with perceptions because we are all different.
We are all human beings with our own little knick-knacks and ways of doing things.
I know thousands of German's who are totally different from me, so we're not alike, we're not the same.
I grew up in the time of Germany after the war.
So when I was told to work, ten, twelve hours a day as an assistant pro, I didn't complain. It was normal.
I grew up a Catholic and I don't want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but there's a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.
I like reading my bible, I like bible studies where I get together with others and talk about the word of God and how it relates to us and how we can change to become more like him.
There are far more important things in life than making a putt or missing a putt or winning a championship or losing a championship.
It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.
Be decisive. A wrong decision is generally less disastrous than indecision.Collection: Golf

I'm certainly not a saint out there on the golf course. In fact, far from it. Like when you make a three-putt and become upset. I take one step back and remember there are more important things going on in the world than golf.Collection: Golf
Competition is healthy. It makes you work harder and strive for more and try to find that extra one or two percent in your game that you could possibly improve.Collection: Hard Work
It’s up to the captain. I certainly feel my golf is worthy of playing in the Ryder Cup. But I’m not sure I’m on the radar screen of Paul McGinley.Collection: Golf
