We called [my son] Gary Little Herschel when he was in middle school - but then he didn't grow any taller. He ended up playing golf and being a really nice golfer.

Augusta National is a young man's golf course, and you really need a young man's nerves to play on it.

There's more to be learned here [St. Andrews] about course design than anywhere. Collection bunkers, false fronts, bump shots. The fundamentals of design became fundamental because of what's here. And it happened accidentally. Or maybe accidentally on purpose.

My kids all do love to hunt and fish. When they get together, I think that's what they get together more for than anything else.
