I had always wanted to see the world, and the PGA Tour was always going to be there.
Besides good schools, a good airport, and the Cowboys, Dallas had golf courses, and golf was fast becoming an obsession with me.
I never worried about money, except that I knew that all I had to worry about was golf. As long as I could play, I was going to make money.
I have had the most spoiled golfing life.
The Senior Tour is a good concept, although frankly I'm not astounded at its continued success. It gives a lot of guys an opportunity to extend their careers.
I always wanted to be a golfer, only I realised that if I'd played golf I would have been skint.
Australian golf did so much for me, and that is why I am here today.
Golf is growing, and there are more good young players, but you don't see them going abroad. It's so expensive to travel.
There are very few courses around Detroit I haven't played.
I've gotten to play so many of the great courses around the country and overseas. Sometimes it pays to be the golf guy. People always want to take me to the golf course. I love it.
The most I ever played was 12 or 13 tournaments. Now they're talking about almost 20, and it's all year round, playing through the summer as well.
In America, if you want to make it as a golfer, you go to college on a scholarship. In Australia, you go to the airport with a plane ticket. The competition just isn't there.
The reason I wrote about women's golf is because I've helped out some with the Kathy Whitworth Cup, a tournament they have in Fort Worth every year where they invite 60 of the best junior golfers in the country and even some foreign players.
