Gary Woodland

I don't know if I've ever had the autograph requests that I've had. It's hard to say no, especially when somebody's out there and they're asking. It would have been hard for me to hear no when I was a kid, so you try to make time and prepare for that, I guess. ”

I don't know if I spent any time on a putting green when I was a kid. I was too busy hitting driver. ”

My short game was really what was really bad, to be honest with you. And so my whole deal was I had to hit chips off putting greens all the time, and there were some times where superintendents weren't a huge fan of me. ”

For years, I felt like I was just whacking at the ball, trying to see how far I could hit it, especially with the driver. Whatever the coach I was working with at the time told me to do, I would just go along with it. ”

I went to school to Washburn to play basketball, and I always believed if basketball didn't work out I could fall back on golf. ”

It's nice to see the results. You work so hard and you want to see results to back up the work that you've done. ”

I'm trying to get better on and off the golf course at all times so I think it's a work in progress all day long. ”
