We're all products of our environment, and I suspect that strength of will - the feeling, I'm going to be able to do whatever you put in front of me - is honed in an environment where not everything is easy.

I don't like anything that's just an escape. To me the best part of golf is that, unlike my tennis game, I can actually get better. I've probably reached my plateau in tennis, but in golf I have a lot of room for improvement. I really enjoy working on my game. I like practicing. I chart my rounds.
