But they really just think their way around the course, they don’t make those silly mistakes, when they hit a bad shot, they hit a bad shot into the correct spot, they just get up and down from everywhere.

"The focus they've, you may see it of their eyes, they’re simply so targeted with each shot. I really feel like, for instance, with me, an beginner, I can simply hit a few good pictures and suppose I’m higher than I'm, after which come crumbling again all the way down to earth, after which I've to grind once more. So, simply seeing, I assume, the follow they put in, clearly they put themselves in place the place they’re gonna maintain enjoying whereas not making too many errors. Something now that I'd like to do extra that I've the time is to follow and try to get higher and attempt to obtain a greater handicap."

Water's always good to have for danger because a lot of amateur golfers get scared of or attracted to water. So that would be a cool thing.

"And one gap I'd like to have is a signature gap, and having a bit of waterfall in it or one thing that is spectacular can be cool to have on the signature gap of that course. And I believe it must be quantity 11."
