I Played High School Golf, I Played

I Was Born In 1929, That Was The Depression, So The Golf Course Was Manned By My Father And Two Guys, They Worked For My Dad And They Took Me With Them Everywhere They Went. And It Was Fun.

A Lot Of Tournaments That I Can Remember I Made A Few Bad Shots And I Was Afraid I Would Lose The Tournament And It Seemed To Work, The Putts Seemed To Go In. Just The Desire.

I Stopped Playing In The Masters In 2004, I Stopped Playing In The Par-3 [contest], And Now It's Time To End This Part Of My Masters Career. I Would Love To Go On Doing It Forever, But I Don't Have The Physical Capability To Hit The Shot The Way I Would Want To Hit It. So I'll Have To Be Content To Watch.

The Fans Motivated Me. They Gave Me The Incentive To Want To Play And To Want To Win And To Continue To Play As My Career Progressed. They Were Never A Distraction.
