Gary Woodland Quotes

My whole career, my swing has always been the most important thing to me. Even when I'm taking a shower, I work on my swing.

I prepare for every game the same.

I never casually shoot shots, ever. I shoot the same way every time. I shoot the same shots that I'd shoot during the game.

Everything is mental, but if you just remember to stay with your same technique, you will be fine. If you stay confident, make sure you are doing the same thing over and over; the free throws will fall.

There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.

If I'm trying to rebound after a bad hole, I just go back to tempo and process and rhythm, and I cling to my routine.

The thing about tennis is if you stay off for two weeks, or just for three days, you can lose your rhythm quickly. So it's just a question of constant diligence and vigilance.

You always want to be working, doing reps, but there is also a time you need the mental reps.

I approach spring training the same way every year.

I'm understanding how to use my swing and working in the cage every day to repeat what I'm doing. Just not trying to do too much.

Put yourself into every situation in training and against every style of bowling, and do that for hours and hours and hours. Then when you get to a match, it's almost instinctive the way you play because you've done it so often in training.

How you practice in nets matters a lot.

A lot more variables in golf. But the biggest thing is like just routine. Like I think that's the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players, is for me I really rely on my routine every single day when I get ready for games and how I prepare.

It's all about concentration and repetition. That's all it is.

Concentration is born on the practice court... you must mentally treat your practice sessions as matches, concentrating on every ball you hit.

Learn to write the same way you learn to play golf. You do it and keep doing it until you get it right.

The mind is pretty powerful. In skating, you learn to click into that zone and focus not necessarily on what you're doing but if you're doing it well.

The successful golfers - they're like astronauts or pilots. They have that demeanor that they can focus and stay within that one moment and nothing distracts them. That's not me.

Consistency is key in any sport and it's no different here.

I watch something in the gym, try to do it and may not get it. When I go home that night and my wife is talking to me and I'm not answering her, it is because I'm visualizing that thing I'm working on. I'll do that all day long. Before I go to bed I'm still thinking about it, and that happens until I can see myself doing it.

You need to stay in that one position to get consistency that way. Different things are going through your mind when you are playing out right to when you are playing through the middle, so you can't get through that routine of where you want to play.
